ABOUT THE STARTUP EVENT
Asian CVCs are looking in the US for excellent deals with global vision!
The Asian CVC Partnership Event has a focus on LifeScience, MedTech, MedDevice, DeepTech, AI, and Climate Technology. Our investor guests will give you deep insights into their investment thesis, teaching startup founders, like you, how to approach them and understand if your company is aligned with the investment opportunities they are looking for. This is your chance to pitch your company and lay the foundation for your next round of investment.
Pitch Global CVC Impact Conferences are a part of our outreach on behalf of NorCal SBDC (funded through California Governor’s Office of Economic Development and Small Business Administration) and are designed to reach out to CVC’s who are investing in Silicon Valley in startups. Asian CVCs, as we have learned in our previous Summits, are particularly hungry for US Startups, because of their global vision from Day 1.
Our Asian CVC focus events are co-produced with SEREND.
Don't miss out to present your company at this event.
