Announcing the Schedule of Events for Counter IV
The big show is coming together with investors and thought leaders coming in from around the world ✈️
We are under a month until our annual event, Counter IV on October 19th. We’ve already clued you into some of the names joining us, from Steve Blank to world-renowned venture expert, Prof. Ilya Strebulaev. Take a look at the program of events below to see how it’s all coming together 👀.
Why You Should Attend Counter IV
It is the most authentic gathering of corporate VCs from all over the world. As with all our events, it’s invite-only and free to members of our community.
We will release the 2023 State of CVC Benchmarking Report, co-authored with SVB. It reviews every facet of the CVC sector, uncovering the inner workings of all the different models that exist. This year we captured our largest number of responses to-date with 209 CVCs participating.
Real conversations on pain points of how to do CVC properly. As former practitioners of CVC ourselves, we’ve pulled together some of the top minds and trailblazers in the industry to recall their lessons learned. This year’s conversations will include snippets from leaders’ time at Google Ventures, Comcast Ventures, Bloomberg Beta and more.
Thursday, October 19th
Doors open at 8:00AM → till late
