Why this exists

2,500+

VCs, angels, and operators watch this board. Together they represent $1.2B+.

These are the people writing the checks. BUMBUM is how you get in front of them before someone else does.

BUMBUM exists to put startups and small businesses in front of the people who matter — customers, early adopters, and the investors looking for the next thing to back.

There’s an old story

  1. 01

    Devotion

    A wealthy man came to his teacher and offered a large sum of money, out of devotion. The teacher said, “Keep it. I’ll tell you when to give it.”

  2. 02

    Patience

    Months later, a father came asking for a blessing — his daughter was getting married, and he needed money.

  3. 03

    The call

    The teacher turned to the first man and said, “Give it to him.”

BUMBUM is that board.

Put your name on it. When they're looking, be there. No introductions. No gatekeeping. Just a public place where founders and small business owners can market themselves.
