Venture Summit at Salesforce Tower
An Independence Week summit above San Francisco on founders, capital, AI, & building the next generation of companies in America.
As America approaches its 250th anniversary, SFPlayground is bringing together founders, investors, family office leaders, operators, & ecosystem builders for a high-signal evening on what the American Dream looks like in the startup era.
The American Dream is shifting. For today's builders, it is increasingly defined by the ability to start from zero, use new technology, access capital, build trust, find customers, & scale companies that create ownership & opportunity.
AI is accelerating that shift, changing how companies are formed, how private markets move, how investors evaluate opportunities, & how startups grow from early traction to durable businesses.
Through a panel discussion, dinner, & curated networking, we'll hear from leaders across venture, private capital, company building, & the startup ecosystem. The conversation will explore how founders build in America from the ground up, how investors identify durable opportunities, how AI is changing the venture landscape, & how the American Dream continues to attract builders from around the world.
