Please join Vator and Bullpen for Venture Shift, their first-ever evening event that gathers top VCs and angels to explore what is happening in the seed to later stages.
A shadow venture system has emerged over the past several years as angels have institutionalized, yesterday’s successful multi-millionaire entrepreneurs have become a legitimate capital market, and incubators have re-entered the funding formation process in droves. In the later stages, a few traditional VCs are turning into mutual funds. Add DST and secondary markets, and the world of investing has profoundly changed.
On the evening of July 20th, the inaugural Venture Shift event at Cafe du Nord, in San Francisco will explore the following questions: How do these developments change the VC game and capital-formation process and exit dynamics? How are the rise of angels, super angels, incubators changing the stakes across the board? Are 10x returns elusive? How are secondary markets adding value?
This event is ideal for entrepreneurs seeking to understand the new world order of venture financing from start to finish. Super angels, angels and venture capitalists should also join the event to mingle and connect with fellow investors shaping the new era of venture investing.
