EVO VC & Startups Community, together with Forcoda Ventures & Plus 1, hosted a private investor luncheon in Downtown Miami. During eMerge Americas conference.
18 accredited investors, family offices, VC partners, and high-net-worth individuals gathered for an intimate, closed-door session with the team behind Plus 1™.
Founder & CEO Jeff Wulkan presented the product, the numbers, and the road ahead.
Plus 1 is a social app built around a simple idea: instead of swiping through profiles, users post real plans and meet in person. For dating, friendships, and networking.
The numbers after 7 months: 10,000+ downloads. 2,500 monthly active users. A 4.9-star App Store rating. 47% retention.
What stood out wasn't just the metrics. It was the conversation that followed.
Investors asked sharp, substantive questions about distribution, revenue, and what expansion looks like beyond Miami. Jeff left the room energized.
Several investors expressed genuine interest in the company, and the depth of the questions gave the team a lot to work with going forward.
Good investor meetings do two things: they move deals forward and they make the company better. This one did both.
The round: $1M Seed via YC Post-Money SAFE at a $5M valuation cap. Projected $1.5M in Year 1, scaling to $11.2M ARR by Year 3.
To everyone in the room who engaged so openly: thank you. Your time and your questions made this more than a presentation.
