Present to Family Offices/CVC’s/VC’s/angels at Perkins Coie SF during RSA

Pitch Global invites startups to pitch to respected Silicon Valley Investing Family Offices, CVCs, VCs, and Angel investors, and get an opportunity to have a 1:1 meeting. This pitch event is organized in partnership with Global Technology Symposium (GTS), an elite Silicon Valley investor Conference, and co-hosted by UC Berkeley Extension.

Learn more here about GTS, which was started by pioneers in VC & Family Office investing, who invested in companies like Amgen, Tandem Computers, etc. Family Offices is one investment class that is getting a lot of attention, so it is an honor for Pitch Global to co-host this event series with GTS.

In the opening image above, the Founder and President of GTS, Sasha Johnson, is moderating a panel discussion with two legendary VCs, Dick Kramlich (middle), Co-Founder of New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Norm Fogelsong (right), Advisory Partner at Institutional Venture Partners (IVP) at the 20th Annual GTS in November 2023 where Pitch Global was a Sponsor. Sasha is also a long-term board member of Pitch Global.

Our events usually have at least one investor as a keynote speaker, and we feature up to 10 investors from well-known Funds such as TDK Ventures, Stanford Angels, Harvard Angels, Keiretsu Forum, Caltech Angels, Samsung Catalyst Fund, Hypertherm Ventures, US Angels, IPO group, etc. We also usually have about 15-20 unfeatured investors as attendees.
