Theme: Investing with Intent in a Noisy Market [VC and Growth Equity focus].
In the current uncertain economic landscape, investors are being pushed to balance aggressive bets with heightened scrutiny. This panel brings together leading VCs and growth equity investors to explore how they’re sourcing standout opportunities, navigating internal investment committees, and making the case for conviction in a market demanding discipline. The panel will discuss founder-investor dynamics, the realities of deploying in a tighter fundraising environment, and how and why investors are influencing what gets funded. We’ll hear how they’re managing risk, driving returns, and building trust with LPs under pressure for liquidity from the IC to the board room.
Core Discussion Topics:
- Evaluating early-stage deals in a more disciplined market
- Founder-investor relationships
- Hot sectors vs hype
- LP dynamics, liquidity needs, and fundraising headwinds
- How and where investors are sourcing alpha
- Internal IC dynamics: what it takes to get a deal across the line
