Venue:Boston
Join us for the 2nd annual VentureFizz Startup Fundraising Summit! This is an invite-only event for Founders & Investors on February 19th in Boston.
The theme is: Return to Growth
We picked this theme because things got a little uncertain over the past few years and now with the platform shift to AI being in full force, we are seeing a lot of positive signs in the market. From mega rounds for AI startups like Suno, 7AI, Beacon Biosignals, … to scale-up rounds for Tulip Interfaces, Wasabi Technologies, and others… to early stage financial rounds for VoiceRun, Tutor, OpenHands, OnRamp, Agency, and many more… there’s a wave of positive momentum out there and it\’s time for growth!
The goal of this event is to bring people together for a day of learning with practice advice and networking. You’ll hear directly from a panel of the market’s most active VCs and a group of Founders who successfully navigated the fundraising process over the past 12 months.
