​Future Forward: Consumer/Con-Tech VC Event

​After a turbulent year in the consumer venture landscape, what does the future hold? Will AI be the downfall of consumer VC investment, or could it spark a new wave of visionary founders who will redefine how people buy products, perceive brands, and trust companies?

​If you are a LP, GP, or MP of a fund, join us for a discussion on the evolving consumer venture space, where e-commerce SaaS, consumer-tech, and creative-tech are increasingly converging. We'll explore how AI is reshaping these industries and the impact of funding trends in this ecosystem.
