About This Event

In response to many questions from funds, we're hosting an off-the-record fireside chat with CEO Evan Conrad, moderated by COO Ethan Anderson, on the credit bottleneck. The debt markets have frozen. New clusters are increasingly requiring investment grade or near-investment grade credit, which startups don't have.

We are now seeing startups asked to pay near-100% prepayments for new compute purchases.

Please join us on Thursday for an emergency session on options for your portfolio.

Big thank you to our friends at PlanetScale for sponsoring the event!

Schedule

  • 5:30 PM: Doors open, drinks and food, networking

  • 6:00 PM: Fireside chat begins

  • 6:45 PM - 8:00 PM: Closing remarks, meet & greet with the SF Compute leadership team
