/ About this event

The next generation of venture returns will come from profitable, resilient companies and exceptional founders traditional venture has overlooked.

Join Folia Capital during SF Tech Week for a curated conversation with LPs, family offices, investors, founders, and operators about where differentiated opportunities are emerging, and how capital efficiency, sustainable growth, and operational excellence are reshaping the winners of venture investing.

The data supports this shift in perspective, and points to a meaningful opportunity for investors prepared to act on it. Capital-efficient founders can generate 2.5x more revenue per dollar raised, and female-founded companies generate more revenue and burn less capital on average. Yet just 1.4% of the $82 trillion in U.S. assets under management is managed by women or BIPOC managers.

Expect a thoughtful, candid discussion and meaningful connections with people helping shape the future of private-market investing.

Space is intentionally limited. Request your spot to join us.

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.
