Ask A VC: Arun Parmar, Capital One Ventures (Virtual, May 14, 5 pm ET)
Arun Parmar is an investor at Capital One Ventures. In this virtual talk, learn about what he looks for when investing in startups and the difference between "corporate venture capital" vs. traditional VC.
Inside: AlleyCorp with Susannah Shipton (NYC, May 21, 6 pm ET)
AlleyCorp has been a foundational VC firm in the NYC tech startup ecosystem. In this fireside chat with Partner Susannah Shipton, we'll learn about AlleyCorp's approach to investing in and incubating some of the most prominent NYC based tech startups. We’ll also learn more about AlleyCorp’s strategy for investing out of its freshly raised $250 million fund.
After interviewing Susannah, we'll have a short reception with light food and drinks.
Inside: MBM Capital with Arun Mittal and Lauren Bonner (NYC, May 23, 5 pm ET)
While startups dream of changing the world and becoming massive, only a very small percentage become unicorns.
MBM Capital invests in "thoroughbreds, not unicorns" - venture businesses that have clear product-market fit, revenue of $3-25M and a path to profitability. They're excited by solid businesses that get overlooked by typical series B investors. MBM comes in to invest, help get them unstuck and uncover more value.
Lynx Collective Co-Founder Andrew Chang will interview MBM Capital Managing Partners Arun Mittal and Lauren Bonner to learn more about this strategy and why it's particularly timely in 2024.
