This session will open with a conversation with Steve Case, Chairman and CEO, Revolution, followed by a panel discussion on The Rise and Rise of Venture Capital.

Technically, the COVID-19 pandemic caused an economic recession. For VC investments, however, the pandemic worked like a steroid that accelerated the underlying trends investors were betting on. But will the embrace of a remote-everything environment lead to continued high growth by providing new opportunities and markets across the globe, or are investors in for a reality check? What does the growth in deal sizes and ease of exits through SPACs mean for investors and entrepreneurs? Join us for a discussion of the recent and coming changes across the venture landscape.
