FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JANUARY 20, 2026
Washington, DC and Raleigh, NC – January 20, 2026 – Seed2Table is pleased to announce a new strategic sponsorship with KPMG, one of the world's leading professional services firms. This collaboration represents a significant milestone for Seed2Table as the organization continues to build national platforms that bring founders and investors together through trust, intention, and relationship driven engagement.
“Seed2Table brings together the people who make innovation real—the founders shaping what’s next and the investors who help them grow,” said Keith Kaetzel, Managing Partner for KPMG Washington, D.C. “KPMG adds valuable cross‑sector insights and a trusted perspective so those connections deepen and progress faster, from idea to pilot to scale. Together, we’re creating meaningful spaces that strengthen relationships and drive smarter growth across life sciences and technology—here in Washington and beyond.”
Kaetzel’s perspective reinforced what Seed2Table’s community has recognized for years. Seed2Table is not an event series. It is a shift in how relationships form, how deals develop, and how innovation ecosystems strengthen through trust.
Launched in 2023, Seed2Table was created to bring founders and investors together in highly curated, relationship driven rooms where capital, insight, and opportunity converge. Since its launch, Seed2Table has made a measurable impact by spotlighting early stage companies, facilitating meaningful investor connections, and building trusted communities across key innovation sectors. In 2026, Seed2Table expands its footprint with new markets, deeper industry verticals, and elevated experiences designed to accelerate growth for both founders and investors shaping the future of innovation.
A Partnership Designed to Drive Smarter Growth
The collaboration with KPMG will expand Seed2Table’s ability to place more founders in the right rooms and help more investors discover aligned opportunities. The partnership will also support Seed2Table’s continued growth in key innovation markets including Washington, D.C., Raleigh, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and other emerging hubs across the United States.
KPMG’s involvement brings deep cross-sector expertise in life sciences, technology, regulatory environments, and scaling strategies. This added perspective will enhance the quality of Seed2Table’s curated conversations, founder support, and investor engagement.
"KPMG joining our mission is a transformative moment for our ecosystem. Their strategic insight and national perspective elevate the caliber of every room we curate. Most importantly, their belief in relationship driven growth mirrors the heart of everything we do. This partnership will open more pathways for founders, deepen investor engagement, and strengthen the innovation communities we serve across the country." said Andrea Conner, Director of Partnerships for Seed2Table.
