Corporate Venture Connections Series

Corporate Venture Connections Series

Industry-Based Virtual Networking Events for Enterprise Investors and Entrepreneurs

The Corporate Venture Connections series (CVCS) is a virtual, topic/industry/sector-based event series that brings together enterprise, corporate venture capital or strategic investors to connect with Washington state entrepreneurs looking for funding. These events provide a platform for investors to share their views on industry trends, investment theses, and how they make investment decisions.

Entrepreneurs also have the opportunity to apply for 1:1 meetings with the participating corporate venture investors. The series is designed for making connections that benefit both the founders and the investors beyond deal flow. While we prioritize founders from Washington, founders from across the country are invited to attend and apply.

Our Next CVCS Event: CleanTech

The Corporate Venture Connections Series continues on May 14th, with a session focused on CleanTech, in partnership with the CleanTech Alliance. We will hear from investors at Climate Pledge Fund, BASF, and HG Ventures who will share their insights on the ever evolving landscape of CleanTech.

Washington state founders! You can apply for a 1:1 meeting with the participating investors, by filling out this short form by May 15th at 10pm PT. If you have any questions, reach out to ECA@technology-alliance.com

The CVCS benefits enterprise investors and founders

These events are not just a typical panel discussion, but the beginning of your opportunity to network one on one with participating founders, investors and panelists.
