When a VC's portfolio is 15 years old, 90+ companies and 100s of LPs strong, and spread across the world, how do you find an opportunity to connect in person?

This is ffVC's yearly challenge as we organize our annual general meeting to include our Limited Partners, as well as our portfolio company leaders. Over 30 startups and 40 LPs flew into New York. From 9 AM to 5:30 PM, speakers shared the stage representing the ffVC team, portfolio company founders and division leaders, sector experts, and even some Limited Partners.

The result was a buzzy day of sharing ideas and connecting across the investor-founder table.

Key topics discussed:

  • Sourcing Alternative Sources of Capital (venture debt, CVCs, Gov)
  • Culture vs Survival: The New Age of Startups and Product Dev (Presented by Vention)
  • Managing A Players & Retaining Top Talent (Presented by Integrity Power Search)
  • Fostering an exit mindset (Presented by Fenwick)
  • Gen AI in the Enterprise
  • Automating Supply Chains
  • Global VC Perspectives
  • Integrating AI (Presented by Fenwick)
  • And growth company spotlights on Socure and Rescale

A big thank you goes to our sponsors for making the day possible: Vention, Fenwick, Zendesk, Integrity Power Search, and Stifel.
