How Do You Get Funded? Fundraising Q&A Town Hall

Come ask the people who run venture capital funds and family offices, and the people helping create the next generation of VC funds.

Join us at the beautiful Ticket 500 in Newport Beach for an evening of questions, candid conversation, and networking with people who see fundraising from different sides of the table.

We'll kick things off with a few curated questions, then open the conversation to the room. Submit your questions, upvote or downvote others, and help decide what gets answered. The audience will guide much of the discussion, with our guests bringing their experience and perspectives to the questions you actually want to ask.

Speakers

Brandon Kim, Managing Partner, Marginal Ventures

Nathan Biles, KYE Ventures

Woody Butler, VC Lab

Don DiCostanzo, Ticket 500 and Experience Ventures

Whether you're exploring funding for the first time, preparing for your next raise, or simply want to understand how the funding world works, come be part of the conversation. There will also be time to meet the guests and connect with founders, investors, and others in the community.

Bring your questions. Meet the people behind the capital.
