TESTIMONIALS
'Really appreciated how peer-to-peer sharing was at the heart of the event - that's a rare thing and much more engaging, fun, and useful than a bunch of panels where you're being talked at.'

Pete Schork
Principal, Broadscale
'It's rare to have an opportunity to engage with VCs and other founders in a way that doesn't map back to pitching and self-promotion. The ROI for being able to achieve THIS much in a few hours cannot be understated.'

Marcelino Alvarez
CEO, Photon Marine
'Your event was amazing, stands out among the many summits and conferences I've been to.'

Matt Stroud
CEO, Icebox Energy
'It's rare to find reciprocal partners like you guys. We are thrilled to be doubling down on the VSC x SVB relationship! This was one of the BEST conferences I've been to this year.'

Bo Ren
Managing Director, SVB
'Wow, what an event! You really know how to bring together amazing people for real, impactful conversations. I learned a TON from the huddle sessions. Wish I could have been in every huddle.'

Peter King
Trinity Capital
'Such a great conference with really great energy. Thank You!'

Perkins Coie
'Thank you for getting me to roll up my sleeves and be a part of this gathering.'

DeRonnie Pitts
Fidelity Private Shares
'Y'all crushed it! Been to a lot of events over the years, but never seen the type of candid free-flowing exchanges like I saw in those huddles.'

Benjamin Gibbs
Founder, Ready Robotics
'The event was first class and the exact right amount of time together. The content was valuable but not overwhelming and there was plenty of time for networking'

Andrew Will
Managing Partner, Willpower VC
'One of the best events I've been to in a while! Really enjoyed the curated mix of people you got. Great job advocating for this community.'
