VC Immersions | VIP Mixer

​35+ venture capitalists are flying into Arkansas for VC Immersions. The VIP Mixer is where their conversations begin.

​This is a private kickoff for investors, corporate innovators, and select ecosystem leaders to connect before the big day—with a twist. We’re skipping the traditional name tags and awkward intros in favor of a mission-driven format designed to accelerate trust and unlock real conversation.

​When you arrive, you’ll receive a clearance badge, mission card, and a drink. Then, you’ll be dropped into a series of light but purposeful “recon” rounds with rotating objectives. One-on-one prompts. Corner huddles. Strategic collisions.

​It’s fast-moving, lightly gamified, and surprisingly effective.

​Who should attend:

• ​Institutional and emerging LPs

• ​General partners and fund managers

• ​Corporate strategy, M&A, and innovation leaders

• ​Angel investors and advisors active in early-stage deals

• ​Friends of the fund and key ecosystem operators

​What to expect:

• ​Color-coded missions tailored to your role

• ​Conversation prompts that cut through small talk

• ​Three fast-paced rounds of recon-style interactions

• ​Contemporary setting, light food & drinks, casual open networking after

​Why it matters:

​This is the night before VC Immersions begins, and many of the 35+ visiting funds are meeting their Arkansas counterparts—and each other—for the first time. It’s a rare opportunity to build context, uncover alignment, and make the kind of first impression that sets the tone for everything that follows.
