Investors on the Bay: A Fall Mixer
Growth & Strategic Investors
Join a curated group of investors for a private afternoon on San Francisco Bay.
Investors on the Bay brings together venture capital investors, corporate venture leaders, growth investors, strategic investors & venture-active family offices for a three-hour cruise aboard a private yacht. Fund AMU $100m minimum.
40 guests. Lunch, drinks & snacks. No panels. No pitches.
Just a relaxed afternoon on the Bay with a highly curated group of people worth getting to know.
About the Event
VCs & corporate venture groups are increasingly looking at many of the same companies, but often through different lenses.
Financial investors may be focused on growth, category leadership & returns. Corporate & strategic investors are also considering strategic fit, partnerships, distribution, ecosystem advantage & long-term M&A opportunities.
Investors on the Bay is designed to bring those perspectives together in a setting built for conversation rather than presentations.
Over three hours on San Francisco Bay, guests will have time to meet other investors, compare notes, build relationships & discuss where capital & opportunity are moving.
Conversations will naturally range across AI, enterprise technology, infrastructure, security, fintech, healthcare, venture, corporate venture, growth, partnerships & strategic capital.
Who Should Attend
This event is designed for:
Venture capital investors
Corporate venture capital leaders
Growth equity investors
Strategic investors
Family offices active in venture & growth
A limited number of select founders, CEOs & operators by invitation
Attendance is capped at 40 guests & carefully curated to keep the group senior, relevant & investor-led.
What to Expect
A three-hour private yacht cruise on San Francisco Bay
Lunch, drinks & snacks

Conversations around AI, venture, corporate venture, partnerships, growth & strategic capital

Good to Know
Boarding is at Frankie's near Pier 40 in San Francisco.
Frankie's is usually open beforehand if you would like to grab a coffee or a drink before we board.
Please arrive by 1:30 PM. The yacht departs promptly at 2:00 PM & cannot wait for late arrivals.
Return at 5:00 PM
Dress is smart & comfortable. Bring a layer-the Bay is often considerably cooler on the water than on shore.
Attendance is limited & by invitation. If you are approved & later cannot attend, please let us know so we can offer your place to someone on the waitlist.
