The SAVCA VC Conference 2024 is fast-approaching, and soon, the sector’s heavyweights will gather at the magnificent Hazendal Wine Estate in the beautiful Stellenbosch for yet another epic industry event.
We’re looking forward to another historic session, where we will dive into the burning topics and trends that have influenced the VC sector over the past year and prospects for the asset class in the years ahead.
Below, is another teaser to preview what’s in store for this year’s delegates.
In this panel discussion, our experts will take a hard look at the various forms of financing for early-stage companies.
How can these mechanisms be leveraged more to support the growth of startups? What synergies exist within the VC investment landscape? What is the state of corporate venture, RBF and other innovative mechanisms.
Tune in as we explore all the possible answers!
In what will arguably become one of the most anticipated conference discussions, the PIC will take us on a journey behind its PIC Early-Stage Fund.
In this more intimate setting, we will unpack the need for the fund and examine how to support commercialisation, increase capital, and deepen participation by women and youth in the entrepreneurial landscape.
We truly look forward to an intriguing unpacking with this one.
The SAVCA VC Conference will take place on 17 October 2024 at the Hazendal Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, Western Cape.
