Venture capital isn’t broken—but it’s due for a reset. Too often, funding chases unicorns while steady-growth companies get overlooked. Our funding solutions back bold founders building lasting businesses in under-invested categories like CPG, ParentTech, EdTech, and Women’s Health.
Join us for a morning with builders, backers, and funding to explore a new model of venture—one that’s more human, grounded, and possible.
Through an interactive discussion, we’ll cover:
1) Why now is the right time to think about alternative funding models
2) How founders benefit from capital paired with real support
3) What it means for investors and founders to engage beyond the traditional approach
4) You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, meaningful connections, and opportunities to help shape the next wave of venture.
Hear from:
- Kate MacCabe, Founder and Digital Advisor of Flywheel Strategy
- Lizzy Reano, Chief Creative Officer of Collective Women's Leadership
- Chris Yang, Co-President of Shopline
Chris will unpack the ways Shopline is investing not only in a platform that accelerate growth for businesses, but also their non-traditional approach to infusing capital into the most promising emerging brands.
Lizzy will share how she’s built CWL from the ground up on the foundation of self-advocacy, and why capital paired with mentorship is key to building ventures that last.
Kate and the Flywheel Strategy team translate business vision into actionable roadmaps—grounded in today’s realities and built for tomorrow’s growth. She'll highlight the untapped opportunities investors and founders alike can leverage to create win-win capital and brand growth combinations.
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.
