Nico, who leads Superteam Argentina, is telling Solana founders headed to Breakpoint in London to build their meeting list around investors’ recent deals. In a Nov. 4 post on X, he argued that what a fund backed in the past year gives founders a better starting point for a conversation than the firm’s name or a broad statement of its interests.

[Breakpoint runs Nov. 15–17](https://solana.com/breakpoint?ref=btcpeers.com) at Olympia London, but meetings around the conference begin earlier. The [Solana Demo Day](https://luma.com/sol-demo-day?ref=btcpeers.com) closes Hacker House London on Nov. 12\. The Solana Foundation and Superteam UK are taking applications from teams that can show a specific product or feature, and audience registration requires approval. For a team with a working demo, that offers a different kind of introduction from a chat at an evening mixer.

## What a recent deal can tell a founder

Nico points to Multicoin Capital’s investment in Exponent as one example. On April 30, [Exponent announced](https://x.com/ExponentFinance/status/2049873471967219791?ref=btcpeers.com) that Multicoin led its $5 million seed round. The Solana project builds tools for trading interest rates and constructing portfolios. A founder working on related infrastructure could use the deal to ask which customer needs the investor thinks are still unmet. The same homework could reveal a portfolio conflict if the products compete directly.

The venue also matters. Multicoin’s [London darts event](https://luma.com/4m0ksi3i?ref=btcpeers.com) requires accepted registration, and the host says admission can still depend on capacity. Checking the host and getting in touch with a relevant person beforehand makes a meeting less dependent on who happens to turn up.

Nico suggests using the first conversation to earn a second one. For a casual introduction, his preference is to follow up after about a week with a concrete update and a proposed next step. If someone has already asked for a demo or agreed on a date, that gives the founder a clearer cue than any general rule about timing.
