Who rides the platform

You can get a ticket right nowbut for those who haven’t been to a StrictlyVC event in the past and have already clicked on that link, let’s get into what’s really exciting about it…

TDK Ventures president Nicolas Sauvage will kick things off after getting your requisite refreshments and networking, as he speaks for corporate VCs in an interview with TechCrunch editor-in-chief Connie Loizos. Sauvage, who leads TDK Ventures’ $500 billion early-stage investment effort, will explain what makes corporate VCs work differently and what founders should know about what attracts his attention to investment.

And founders on the phone should take note: Sauvage guided TDK to support 45 startups and three unicorns — Groq, Ascend Elements, and Silicon Box — during his tenure. TDK will also be hosting and sponsoring the StrictlyVC event, so attendees will have ample opportunity to learn and potentially get some face time with their team.

We’ll then move on to a conversation with Campbell Brown, a former CNN anchor and head of news at Meta who has made a pivot toward startups as he looks to make AI platforms more reliable as more people turn to them for advice and information. He is now the founder and CEO of Forum AI, and in the heated debate about how to evaluate, verify, and maintain the authenticity of the information provided by LLMs.

And those who are part of the same AI revolution will be happy to hear that Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit, is also taking the stage to share his first-hand experience helping to lead the revolution in how software is built. The rise of the coding vibe has changed the way many work, especially in the Bay Area, and that has also brought strong competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI. Anyone who wants to look into the future of programming will need to join us and stick to Masad’s speech.

As if all that wasn’t exciting enough, we still have one more speaker to announce, so you’ll be getting more details and expertise leading up to the final round of networking and networking that explains StrictlyVC’s true point of proof. Some of the biggest thinkers and most well-connected members of the startup community join us at these events, and you can be a part of them by registering, to get your ticket today!
