StrictlyVC is excited to return to TechCrunch Disrupt this October, where we will convene the pivotal figures shaping the venture capital sector. This edition emphasizes tackling the most pressing issue in the market today: liquidity. With extended exit timelines and increasingly selective limited partners (LPs), the off-the-record discussions are more vital than ever.
Partnering with Cendana Capital, which has invested in more than 80 funds over its 15-year history, we are unveiling a specialized off-the-record LP track. This track will provide an unvarnished view of capital flows, evolving LP priorities, and essential insights for general partners (GPs) to navigate and excel in today’s landscape. If you’re involved in raising, deploying, or managing capital, this is the space you need to be in.
Join us at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 on October 28 at 3 p.m. PT, hosted at the Moscone West Convention Center in San Francisco. Kick off your experience with drinks and networking before the main program. Access is limited to Investor Pass holders only — each session aims to equip you with actionable strategies ideal for today’s challenging fundraising environment while also fostering valuable connections.
