Can Venture Capital Beat Every Other Asset Class?

For years, venture capital has underperformed compared to other asset classes. This summit asks a simple question: what would it take for VC to deliver real alpha again?

Join Expert DOJO on October 29 in the Bay Area to see how AI and new investment models are reshaping the way funds are built, deals are sourced, and returns are generated, and what that means for the future of venture.

Expect keynotes, live debate, and panels with family offices, VCs, and super angels. This exclusive, curated summit is for accredited investors only: VCs, LPs, family offices, angels, endowments, foundations, and institutional investors.

Come ready to rethink what venture can do.

SORRY FREE TICKETS FOR INVESTORS ARE NOW GONE DUE TO HUGE DEMAND BUT INVESTORS CAN PURCHASE FOR $145.

ABOUT THIS EVENT

We bring together leading fund allocators from around the country to look at the future of how Silicon Valley should operate in this new world of AI—with a focus on LPs, family offices, and angels. The tech world is changing fast and Silicon Valley investors are not keeping up.

This is a very real and needed conversation amongst serious capital allocators to change the face of venture capital investment for better returns and a better world.  We gather key financial decision-makers who determine where innovation happens, which markets grow, and which ecosystems thrive.

Sponsors can use this opportunity for your team to develop relationships with global investors looking for investment opportunities in tech and related markets and possible future donors to your program.  Your team will develop business relationships with high net worth  investors to rethink how capital is deployed—toward more efficient models, stronger returns, and long-term economic impact.
