​About the Event

​The venture capital landscape has shifted. Traditional models are under scrutiny, liquidity expectations are changing, and elite allocators are rethinking how capital earns its return.

​Join us in Atherton for the inaugural gathering of Summer in Silicon Valley: Parties on the Peninsula—an exclusive evening designed for decision-makers at the highest levels of private and public markets. Over gourmet food and premium beverages, our panelists will pull back the curtain on the asset class: addressing structural flaws in modern venture, strategies top-decile GPs are deploying to consistently beat the S&P 500, and what managers must do differently to justify fee structures in a new market cycle.
