Venture Forward’s 12th Emerging Manager Office Hours program (EMOH 12) will be held in person in New York on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024. This full-day program is sponsored by Cooley, GV, and SVB.
Tech Council Ventures’ Managing Partner Steve Socolof hosts office hours from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm as an experienced GP.
Twenty to twenty-five emerging fund managers (EMs) from underrepresented backgrounds will be selected to attend and meet with LPs, GPs with significant fundraising/fund management experience, industry advisors, and each other.
EMs will learn about industry best practices during panel discussions with leading GPs and LPs and will get the opportunity to seek personalized feedback and guidance during 8 rounds of 1:1 and small-group meetings with EMOH hosts. (The list of EMOH 12 hosts will be updated here as the program approaches. In the meantime, you can see some of the firms that have served as hosts for past programs.)
In addition to the general participation criteria, for EMOH 12, we will prioritize applicants who:
Are currently raising or managing funds 2, 3, or 4
Are raising or managing a fund of less than $150 million
Have a professional connection to the New York area
