Venture Forward will hold its ninth LP Office Hours program in New York (LPOH 9), sponsored by GV, Cooley, and Mercury.

LPOH 9 will provide 25 emerging fund managers from backgrounds underrepresented in venture capital with an opportunity to hold candid conversations with limited partners (LPs), experienced general partners (GPs), and industry advisors about fundraising, managing the GP-LP relationship, and managing a VC fund.

Applicants who are raising their 1st or 2nd fund will be prioritized for selection.

LPOH are intended to support people who:

  • Want to learn more about fundraising and managing the GP-LP relationship

 

Applicants with a connection to the New York region will be given preference.

Selected applicants must confirm their availability and intent to attend the full event in-person. Invitations are non-transferable; if a selected applicant is unable to attend, or only available to attend part of the event, that seat will be offered to an applicant from the waitlist.

Because the meeting schedules are so curated, we are unable to make any exceptions for EMs who are only able to attend part of the event, regardless of the circumstances.
