Pitch online to Lifesciences VC's/CVC's/Angels + Investor Meet @UCB
Join us online for the first of our monthly events in 2025, co-hosted by UC Berkeley Extension, now in the 7th year of this partnership. We usually have one keynote (for example, the legendary VC Ben Narasin, former NEA Partner and Founder of Tenacity Ventures), up to 10 featured investors, and another 15-20 unfeatured ones from thousands of investors in our network.
The picture above is from the 4th Pitch Global CVC Leadership Summit showcasing leaders from the SK Group and Niterra Venture Labs. SK Group is the largest investor in Lifesciences in Korea, and our sponsor, Niterra Venture Labs (rebranded from NGK Spark Plug Co. Ltd), is investing $ 1 billion in startups, 50% of which is in Lifesciences/Health Tech. Many Tech CVCs & investors in our ecosystem have started investing in Lifesciences/Health Tech in all stages, and this event will begin with a discourse on this topic.
You may also expect featured senior investors from firms such as TDK Ventures, Stanford Angels, Harvard Angels, Keiretsu Forum, Caltech Angels, Samsung Catalyst Fund, Hypertherm Ventures, US angels, IPO Group, etc., which is typical of the kind of investors you can meet at the Pitch Global-UC Berkeley Extension virtual pitch event every month.
If you are a global entrepreneur and want to Pitch via Zoom to some of the most well-connected Investors in the Silicon Valley ecosystem, here is your chance.
Since there is heavy demand from global entrepreneurs for this online Pitch event series, we reserve the right to move you to the next event in case this event fills up

Some Pitch Global Updates:
As a long-term affiliate of the California Governor's Office of Economic Development Agencies such as Norcal SBDC, TFG, SJSU Innovation, etc., Pitch Global has been building the Silicon Valley CVC Network with their support since the pandemic. Through this effort, we discovered that CVCs are trending towards investing in early startups and those of all stages.
One of our funding success stories, posted on the NorCal SBDC website, explains how we are connected to the State’s Funding & Mentoring agencies.
Please email us if you are based in Northern California and want to sign up for State-funded assistance/grants advisory.
