Venture Ecosystem Brunch
About
We’re hosting a private brunch for a small group of ecosystem builders, investors, and a few close friends helping shape the future of early-stage support. This will be a candid, off-the-record space—just good food, thoughtful conversation, and a chance to get aligned on how we show up for founders.
We’ll share what each of us is working on, where we’re seeing gaps, and explore ways to collaborate more meaningfully across capital, community, and care.
This will be a private dining experience.
