The Women in CVC Summit is Back | Counter Club Holiday Party on Dec 14th
We are excited to announce that our Women in CVC Summit, the largest gathering of women in corporate VC, will return on May'24. Also join us to close out the year with fellow CVCs on Dec 14th in SF!
We hosted the first of its kind Women in CVC Summit back in April. The event brought together 50+ CVC leaders and emerging investors in Sonoma, CA to engage in thoughtful discussions about the CVC ecosystem and broader professional development. We’re excited to host this event again on May 9th 2024, at Francis Ford Coppola Winery.
Agenda
The summit will consist of 1-on-1 matchmaking, speaker sessions and networking to close off the day. We plan to have speakers from CVC, VC and founders to discuss topics such as Emerging Leadership, Building a Fund, Portfolio Management and Structure, CVC Brand Positioning, Career Development & Growth and more.
Staying true to our Counter Club brand the event will have:
FRESH approach: Led by practitioners of CVCs.
REAL talk: No party line. Talk about both the challenges and opportunities.
CURATED content: An invite-only summit just for CVCs hosted by Counterpart Ventures and our partners.
The official agenda will be shared early next year.

Key Takeaways from the 2023 Women in CVC Summit
The first ever Women in CVC Summit included sessions from “Professional Development in Venture: Selling Yourself Your Ideas” to Anna Patterson’s keynote address, “Building Gradient Ventures: Founder-led approach to Venture.” Here were some of the takeaways, we can’t wait for more bites in 2024.
Bolstering your track-record or in other words “deal sheet” is critical to
demonstrating your strength as an investor. Often women can under sell the work they’ve done on past investments. A key learning here is to start building a deal sheet early in your career which captures your investment history and your contribution.
Deal sharing & overall knowledge sharing is a critical piece of success in
venture. Women can be more creative in how they build strong networks that
help with deal flow and career support.
To prove the value of the CVC you must demonstrate a clear vision of
the fund’s investment strategy, and that its working. Once you’ve
achieved that, there will be more flexibility in expanding investments
into impact areas such as diversity of founders, sustainability, etc.
