DETAILS

Join us for the first hybrid Pitch Global event of 2025 co-hosted by UC Berkeley Extension at their San Francisco Campus & online via Zoom. The event will present speakers talking about how AI Entrepreneurs can attract investors, especially Corporate Venture Capital (CVC's), & apply for Govt grants for funding. Following these talks, Entrepreneurs will present their pitches to the audience, including a group of featured investors from our network.

Above is a picture from the 4th Pitch Global CVC Leadership Summit with leaders from SK Group & Niterra Venture Labs (rebranded from NGK CVC). Note that SK Group is the largest investor in life sciences in Korea, & our Sponsor, Niterra Venture Labs, is investing $1 billion in Startups, 50% of which is in life sciences/Health Tech. Many Tech CVCs & investors in the Pitch Global ecosystem have started investing in startups of all stages.
