Disrupt 2025 is set to be a pivotal event in the venture capital world, taking place in October. This gathering will unite key players who are instrumental in shaping the future of investment strategies. This year, the spotlight will be on a pressing issue: liquidity in the market.
As the landscape of venture capital evolves, characterized by prolonged exit timelines and a more discerning group of limited partners (LPs), the discussions held in private settings are becoming increasingly significant. In collaboration with a prominent investment firm known for its extensive backing of various funds, we are introducing an exclusive LP Track. This initiative aims to provide an unfiltered perspective on capital flow, the shifting priorities of LPs, and essential insights for general partners (GPs) to navigate this challenging environment. If you are involved in capital raising, deployment, or management, this is the essential gathering for you.
Join us on October 28 at 3 p.m. at the Moscone West in San Francisco for an evening of networking and refreshments before the program kicks off. Attendance is restricted to holders of the Investor Pass, ensuring that every session is tailored to equip you with actionable strategies for today’s demanding fundraising landscape while facilitating connections with key industry figures.
Now, let’s meet the influential voices in venture capital who will be leading these critical discussions. Discover more about the speakers who will be sharing their insights at this event.
