Where capital meets the organizations building the next generation of startups.
The Venture Summit brings a curated group of funders together with the people running the world’s leading venture accelerators, venture builders, and venture hubs. Not one company at a time. The organizations building dozens of them.
Most capital is aimed at a single company at a time. The Venture Summit is built around a different question: who is building the organizations that produce those companies in the first place. Every accelerator, venture builder, and hub in the room has already been vetted through Global Venture Network’s fifteen years of work with operators across six continents. The funders in the room are there because that vetting means their time is well spent. That is the entire premise of this event.
Who’s in the room
Funders
Institutional investors, foundations, family offices, government and economic development entities, and mission driven non-profits, all attending by invitation, at no cost.
Operators
Heads of venture accelerators, venture builders, and venture hubs — exclusively members of Global Venture Network, already vetted and invited to represent their organization directly.
Two tracks, one Summit
The Venture Summit runs across two tracks, matched to how capital and organizational structure actually align. Growth Capital brings together for-profit venture studios, venture builders, for-profit accelerators, and venture funds with the family offices, angel investors, and institutional investors who invest directly in them. Catalytic Capital brings together non-profit accelerators, hubs, and studios with the foundations, government and economic development entities, and non-profits who fund them. Full detail on both tracks lives on The Format page.
How it works
Both tracks follow the same two phase calendar. Virtual sessions this fall. Then an in person Summit in 2027, small by design and built for actual conversation rather than a stage and an audience.
