This First Thursday marks the official launch of our Decomposing Venture Series—an ongoing monthly exploration of venture capital and innovation. We begin the night with our global innovation gathering, spotlighting Japan for Startups and Digital Nomads and how founders are building across borders. From there, we turn to the foundations of venture capital - why private markets matter, how innovation is funded, and where long-term value is truly being created. This opening night sets the tone for a deeper, more candid venture conversation throughout the year.
Arrive early to Venture Café Phoenix for your chance to connect with Meredith Orr, HR Business Performance Advisor, Insperity. Meet with Meredith to learn what could be and possible points to strategize for the year ahead, during Mentor Hours. Meetings begin at 4:30pm and run in 15-minute slots.
Please note: Mentor Hours are first come first served and must be done on-site at the event. A sign-up sheet will be located at the room where the mentor is stationed, so be sure to stop by early to secure your spot.

In our series premiere, Hannah Savage and Alex Chompff bridge the gap between institutional venture foundations and the high-volume global future. In a volatile macro environment, why does venture capital remain a critical component of a diversified portfolio? This session decomposes the 'private opportunity' and explores why the most significant value creation is shifting away from public markets, uncovering the structural reasons why innovation requires venture-scale risk to yield outsized rewards. Join us on the first Thursday of every month for a candid, ongoing exploration of venture capital as an asset class — from foundation to future.
