Corporate Venturing

 Please note you don’t have to get up early for this event!

Corporate Venturing is the leading growth segment of the venture capital market.  No longer passive investors, today’s corporate VCs are leading deals, setting terms, and investing at earlier stages than ever before.
Join us for cocktails (really – on us!) and appetizers and then hear some of the leading corporate VCs discuss how they approach deals, work with entrepreneurs and their corporate parents.
