Full description from organizer

Investors on the Bay: A Fall Mixer Growth & Strategic Investors Join a curated group of investors for a private afternoon on San Francisco Bay. Investors on the Bay brings together venture capital investors, corporate venture leaders, growth investors, strategic investors and venture-active family offices for a three-hour cruise aboard a private yacht. Fund AMU $100m minimum. 40 guests. Lunch, drinks and snacks. No panels. No pitches. Just a relaxed afternoon on the Bay with a highly curated group of people worth getting to know. About the Event VCs and corporate venture groups are increasingly looking at many of the same companies, but often through different lenses. Financial investors may be focused on growth, category leadership and returns. Corporate and strategic investors are also considering strategic fit, partnerships, distribution, ecosystem advantage and long-term M&A opportunities. Investors on the Bay is designed to bring those perspectives together in a setting built for conversation rather than presentations. Over three hours on San Francisco Bay, guests will have time to meet other investors, compare notes, build relationships and discuss where capital and opportunity are moving. Conversations will naturally range across AI, enterprise technology, infrastructure, security, fintech, healthcare, venture, corporate venture, growth, partnerships and strategic capital. Who Should Attend This event is designed for: Venture capital investors Corporate venture capital leaders Growth equity investors Strategic investors Family offices active in venture and growth A limited number of select founders, CEOs and operators by invitation Attendance is capped at 40 guests and carefully curated to keep the group senior, relevant and investor-led.
