Present to Family Offices/CVC’s/VC’s/angels at Perkins Coie, Palo Alto

Pitch Global invites startups to pitch to respected Silicon Valley Investing Family Offices, CVCs, VCs, and Angel investors, and get an opportunity to have a 1:1 meeting. This pitch event is organized in partnership with Global Technology Symposium (GTS), an elite Silicon Valley investor Conference, and co-hosted by UC Berkeley Extension.

Learn more here about GTS, which was started by pioneers in VC & Family Office investing, who invested in companies like Amgen, Tandem Computers, etc. Family Offices is one investment class that is getting a lot of attention, so it is an honor for Pitch Global to co-host this event series with GTS.

In the opening image above, the Founder and President of GTS, Sasha Johnson, is moderating a panel discussion with two legendary VCs, Dick Kramlich (middle), Co-Founder of New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Norm Fogelsong (right), Advisory Partner at Institutional Venture Partners (IVP) at the 20th Annual GTS in November 2023 where Pitch Global was a Sponsor. Sasha is also a long-term board member of Pitch Global.

Our events usually have at least one investor as a keynote speaker, and we feature up to 10 investors from well-known Funds such as TDK Ventures, Stanford Angels, Harvard Angels, Keiretsu Forum, Caltech Angels, Samsung Catalyst Fund, Hypertherm Ventures, US Angels, IPO group, etc. We also usually have about 15-20 unfeatured investors as attendees.
