TechCrunch is hosting its first StrictlyVC event of 2024 in San Francisco on April 30. The tech conference brings together startup founders, investors, and tech executives for networking and industry discussions.
This event attracts some of Silicon Valley’s biggest names and rising stars. It’s where deals get made, partnerships form, and the next big tech trends often emerge.
Who’s Speaking This Time
The speaker lineup includes leaders from TDK Ventures, the investment arm of the Japanese electronics giant, and executives from Replit, the popular online coding platform that’s been making waves in AI-powered programming tools.
StrictlyVC events are known for their intimate setting and high-quality networking. Unlike massive tech conferences with thousands of attendees, these gatherings focus on bringing together the right people rather than the most people.
The timing is particularly interesting as venture capital has slowed significantly over the past year. Many startups are struggling to raise money, while investors have become much pickier about where they put their cash.
What To Expect
Tickets are still available but selling fast. These events typically sell out as they get closer to the date, especially when held in San Francisco’s competitive tech scene.
Expect discussions about AI investments, startup survival strategies, and where venture money is actually flowing in 2024. With tech layoffs continuing and fewer unicorn startups emerging, industry leaders will likely focus on sustainable growth over rapid scaling.
