fenel at the California Innovation Showcase

California, here we come!

Excited that fenel will be taking part in the California Innovation Showcase on September 16 at Carneros Resort and Spa, hosted by the CA Women’s Wealth Advisory Council in partnership with The Lobby, and sponsored by Cooley and F5 Collective and with special guest First Partner of California Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

We’re building the collective relationship memory of fandom.

Using multimodal + multiplayer AI, fenel turns shared selfies, photos, videos, and notes into a living history of who met, what they experienced, and how their relationships and communities grow over time.

Fans, athletes, creators and brand teams contribute to that memory together creating shared journeys that continue across events, communities and organizations.

The Showcase will feature high-potential, early-stage women founders, including 5–6 companies selected to deliver live pitches to an audience of leading venture capital, angel, family office, and institutional investors. The event will also bring together investors, senior leaders from the State of California: including GO-Biz, IBank, and the State Treasurer's Office—and key partners from across California's innovation ecosystem.

More than a traditional Demo Day, the California Innovation Showcase is designed to connect promising women founders with the capital, strategic relationships, mentorship, and public resources that help companies scale. By bringing ecosystem partners in one room, the Showcase highlights California's commitment to fostering innovation, expanding opportunity, and supporting companies that are driving both economic growth and meaningful community impact.

The event ends. The world keeps growing.

Looking forward to sharing what we’re building and meeting an incredible group of founders, investors and ecosystem leaders in California.
