Altra Venture Partners, Corient
The VC secondary market is booming...
...but what does that mean for founders?
"Founder Secondaries: The Why's, When's, and How's" will help founders explore when they should 'take chips off the table' regarding shares on their path to IPO or Exit.
(Please note that this is an exclusive event for Series B and beyond, venture-backed founding teams.)
In this fireside chat, we will cover:
+ Different kinds of venture secondary transactions;
+ Who founders could partner with in those transactions (and the pros/cons of each type);
+ How much is 'too much' to sell;
+ What to 'watch out for'; and
+ How to make sure you're managing your personal wealth in the process.
Our fireside chat will feature Corient (corient.com) and Altra Venture Partners (altravp.com) in Corient's beautiful offices in FiDi SF.
Adam Katz, the head of Corient's Founder and Entrepreneur practice, will be in discussion with Jamie Melzer, the Founder and Managing Partner of Altra.

Everyone's product looks the same these days: stripped down black-and-white minimalism, bordering on skeletal. Why? Because everyone's using the same damn vibe coding tools 🙄
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn from an ex-Dropbox, award-winning product designer (Kathy Wang) how to prompt like a designer.
This isn't your typical AI demo (no shade to any of the other SF Tech Week events 😛).
This is the workshop that'll make your product impossible to ignore.

How to Influence Brand Visibility in the AI Era
Santa Monica
·
SUSO Digital, Moxie Communications Group
AI isn’t just changing how we search — it’s changing how brands are discovered, trusted, and talked about. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Mode are now surfacing answers directly to users, often shaping perception before anyone clicks a link.
In this session, a panel of experts will break down what this shift means for brand visibility. We’ll explore how AI tools pull information, why PR and SEO are now deeply intertwined, and most importantly — how you can influence what AI says about your brand.
Panel:
Chris Andrews, CEO & Co- founder, Scrunch AI
Rebecca Weiser, Senior Vice President, Moxie Communications Group
Cara Corbett, Partner Growth Manager, SUSO Digital (Moderator)
