Venture capital isn’t broken—but it’s due for a reset. Too often, funding chases unicorns while steady-growth companies get overlooked. Our funding solutions back bold founders building lasting businesses in under-invested categories like CPG, ParentTech, EdTech, and Women’s Health. Join us for an evening with builders, backers, and funding to explore a new model of venture—one that’s more human, grounded, and possible. Through a fireside chat and interactive discussion, we’ll cover: 1) Why now is the right time to think about alternative funding models 2) How founders benefit from capital paired with real support 3) What it means for investors and founders to engage beyond the traditional approach 4) You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, meaningful connections, and opportunities to help shape the next wave of venture. This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
