Investors on the Bay: A Summer 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 and venture-active family offices for a three-hour cruise aboard a private yacht. Fund AMU $100m minimum.

40 guests. Lunch, drinks and 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 and 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 and returns. Corporate and strategic investors are also considering strategic fit, partnerships, distribution, ecosystem advantage and 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 and discuss where capital and opportunity are moving.

Conversations will naturally range across AI, enterprise technology, infrastructure, security, fintech, healthcare, venture, corporate venture, growth, partnerships and 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 and growth

• A limited number of select founders, CEOs and operators by invitation

Attendance is capped at 40 guests and carefully curated to keep the group senior, relevant and investor-led.

What to Expect

• A three-hour private yacht cruise on San Francisco Bay

• Lunch, drinks and snacks

• A curated group of VCs, CVCs, growth and strategic investors

• Thoughtful introductions from the hosts

• Open, off-the-record conversation

• Conversations around AI, venture, corporate venture, partnerships, growth and strategic capital

• Short welcome remarks from the hosts

• No formal presentations

• No startup pitches

• No demo tables or vendor booths

The goal is simple: meet interesting people, have useful conversations and leave with relationships rather than a stack of business cards.

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 and cannot wait for late arrivals.
Return at 5:00 PM

Dress is smart and comfortable. Bring a layer—the Bay is often considerably cooler on the water than on shore.

Attendance is limited and by invitation. If you are approved and later cannot attend, please let us know so we can offer your place to someone on the waitlist.
