This year, the landscape of venture capital and innovation underwent a seismic shift. The fall of Silicon Valley Bank has challenged the assumptions that guided capital markets for the past decade. In this moment of uncertainty, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, banks, and regulators must work collaboratively to transform this reckoning into a reset—or risk the very foundations of innovation, industry, and competitive economies. How are VCs navigating the transformed banking ecosystem to bolster their portfolio companies, ensure strong returns for their investors, and enhance fundraising and investment strategies? How are portfolio companies and startups adapting to this new reality in a way that ensures fiscal responsibility but supports creativity and innovation? And ultimately, how can the public and private sectors work together to establish a new game plan moving forward? Join our expert panel of industry leaders as they explore the implications of these questions for the broader society and economy.
