READ THE RECAP

November 12, 13 - 14, 2024 | In Person | Half Moon Bay, CA

Welcoming the most senior women and nonbinary venture capitalists in the U.S. for an intimate gathering of GP and partner-level investors, emerging leaders in VC, LPs, male allies, and tech industry leaders.

This year, we’re celebrating each of us - the players, coaches, and teammates - that we lean on and learn from to become all stars in venture capital.

Main Stage Speakers

Top US-based venture capitalists, limited partners, and industry leaders take the main stage to inspire, educate, and connect around what's possible for women and nonbinary VCs. Attendees gain insight and perspective about daily trends and challenges through highly curated conversations. The main stage is a platform to hear real experiences from those who have "been there" and learn what you can do to succeed at your seat at the table.

FAQs

General Information

  • What is All Raise?

    All Raise is a nonprofit, community-driven organization on a mission to create a tech culture where women and nonbinary voices build and fund the future.

  • What is the All Raise VC Summit?

    The All Raise VC Summit convenes the most senior women and nonbinary investors in venture capital to redefine what it looks like to be a wildly successful investor.  

    Throughout the Summit, attendees connect over thought provoking topics that matter for their careers and for the advancement of women and nonbinary people in VC. 

    The Summit includes a short main stage session with talks and panels that provide insights for today's economic environment and inspire future opportunities. In addition, we plan to host more small group, informal, user-led discussion groups with peer facilitators, top tier networking during a welcome dinner and afterparty, opportunities to talk candidly about investments and portfolios, and activities to connect with other investors and All Raisers from all corners of the country.

  • Who should attend?

    The 2024 VC Summit experience will be more intimate, focusing on GP and partner-level investors plus leaders from the next generation of VC. Attendees must have a Partner or GP title. By exception, we will allow principals to attend if they write checks and serve on boards. Limited tickets are available.

    All Raise offers other programs for VCs looking to build their track record, and we suggest you subscribe to our newsletter for more information and opportunities.


    Please continue to engage with All Raise content and events, and update us on your wins so we can amplify your success.

    Badges for this year’s Summit are $1099.

    The badge cost includes the Summit programming and all activities that surround the conference including our welcome dinner, after party, conference meals, and vibrant network opportunities.

    🔴 Guests of the Summit are responsible for their travel and hotel costs. A room block is available at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay for a discounted rate. Hotel reservation information will be provided after you purchase your badge.

    🎓 Thanks to our generous sponsors, scholarships for Summit badges are available for qualified attendees. Indicate your interest in being considered for a scholarship when you request an invitation.

Attendance

  • Who can attend?

    We welcome US-based women and nonbinary venture investors at the General Partner, Partner, and Principal level from US-based funds with $25M AUM or greater, and Emerging Managers leading funds with $10M AUM or greater.

  • What happens after I request an invitation?

    The All Raise team reviews requests and will communicate the next steps to selected applicants on a rolling basis, with final communications to all requests wrapping up no later than October 31, 2024.

  • Why is this year’s event focused on General Partners, Partners, Principals and Emerging Managers at specific fund sizes?

    All Raise’s VC Summit is a highly curated gathering for women and nonbinary active check writers. The environment is specifically designed to support senior investors at the GP, Partner, or Principal level at funds with $25M AUM or greater, and Emerging Managers with funds $10M AUM or greater to help them become wildly successful and pave the way for the next generation. Additional opportunities for women and nonbinary investors to connect through All Raise will be announced in the coming months.

  • How are attendees chosen?

    The content of the All Raise VC Summit is meant to be actionable which is why we limit attendance to active investors at the General Partner, Partner, and Principal level across established and emerging funds. Women and nonbinary investors come to personally network and share deals in a candid and safe environment. Being mindful of capacity limitations, we do our best to be as inclusive as possible across geographies, racial/ethnic/gender background, volunteer involvement, sectors, and stages of career. 

  • Do you have an age requirement?

    You must be over 21 to attend in person. Please note the qualifications listed above for who may attend. 


Registration

  • Do you offer discounts?

    We do not offer discounts. Thanks to our sponsors, we offer scholarships if the ticket price is a barrier to your attendance. We also encourage firms to cover the tickets of attendees, supporting the growth and success of women and nonbinary individuals in their firms.

  • Can I expense my ticket with my firm?

    We encourage all VC firms to allow the women and nonbinary investors in their firms to expense their tickets. All Raise is a nonprofit powered by the support of volunteers, personal, and corporate contributions. The content of All Raise VC Summit is designed to help women and nonbinary GP, Partner, and Principal level investors supercharge their professional development and insights as a VC. 

  • Are tickets tax-deductible because All Raise is a non-profit?

    Because tickets include items such as food and swag, tickets are not tax deductible. However, donations to sponsor scholarships and other event costs are tax-deductible.

  • Can I sponsor a woman or nonbinary investor to attend?

    Yes! Support the All Raise VC Summit here. Please indicate your desire to use the donation to sponsor the cost of the Summit badge and/or flight and hotel for this year’s Summit in the comment section.

For Sponsors

  • Why should my firm sponsor the All Raise VC Summit?

    All Raise is a community-driven non-profit focused on creating a tech culture where women and nonbinary voices build and fund the future. Our efforts are powered by the support of volunteers, personal and corporate contributions - and the programs we run because of their support have a real, lasting impact on the industry. 

  • How can I become a sponsor?

    We’re excited that you care as much about accelerating the success of women and nonbinary people in the venture capital world as we do. Please contact Jody Mahoney directly for more information. Sponsorship opportunities are available on a first come, first serve basis. 


The Event

  • How do I submit a speaker nomination?

Breakout panels, peer-led conversation and other topics are created months in advance. The Summit agenda and associated speakers will be chosen and announced as the Summit approaches.

  • Will you share the content after the Summit?

    The nature of the Summit is to help peers connect to exchanges insights and opportunities which is not something we can recreate through videos.
