What you can expect
FundFest is framed around the three main phases in the venture capital life cycle: raising funds, deploying capital and delivering returns. Or as we like to refer to them: get the money, invest the money, return the money. Panels and keynotes will touch on all three areas, with speakers representing both the venture capital investor (VC) and fund investor (LP) viewpoint, and providing perspectives relevant to Canadian VC and the broader North American context.
