Sometimes what entrepreneurs really need is an informal AMA with a VC. That’s why Silicon Valley Forum and Avanta Ventures are partnering on a series of virtual Office Hours sessions. We’re inviting up to six early-stage FinTech startup founders to participate. After a quick pitch session from each founder, the floor will be open for questions to provide guidance on raising capital, pitching, negotiations, deal structuring, and more. There’s no limit on the type of technology – as long as you’re focused on financial innovation, your company can benefit from this unique opportunity to receive candid feedback about your startup.

This Silicon Valley Forum webinar will help frame some of the newly emerging issues and opportunities for insurance carriers to consider as they plan for the back half of 2020 and prepare for 2021. Engaging with key entrepreneurs and investors can provide carrier teams with key new insights that can provide pathways to a future that may be here sooner than many may realize. Join InsurTech Founders, Investors, and thought leaders – including Sanjiv Parikh, Managing Partner at Avanta Ventures – as they discuss the state of the insurance industry, and what’s coming next.
