# Prompt Sessions > Prompt Sessions runs curated, invitation-quality 1-on-1 matchmaking between early-stage founders (pre-seed and seed) and actively investing VCs, angels, family offices and CVCs. Founders are screened, then matched by stage, sector and geography for back-to-back 10-minute online meetings — no pitch deck and no warm intro required. Not affiliated with prompt engineering or AI-training services.
