Online Event
Cohort 21 of the leading accelerator for new and emerging managers is drawing to a close, and we'd love for you to celebrate with us. Over the past few months, these managers turned a thesis into a fund, working from their first LP conversations all the way to commitments on the books. Join us as we recognize the top performers of the cohort and honor everything this class has built.
Join us to hear directly from standout graduates about the moment they decided to launch and the one lesson they'd pass on to the next manager in their seat. We'll also share how Cohort 21 performed as a whole and present this cohort's awards.
After the showcase, stay to network with emerging managers from across the program and get an inside look at how VC Lab works. If you're thinking about launching a fund of your own, there's no better preview of the road ahead. Applications for Cohort 23, the era of the agentic fund, are [open now], and this event is designed to set new applicants up to succeed. In Cohort 23, your agents run the pipeline and the paperwork. You run the thesis.
Registration is free. Reserve your spot and come celebrate with us
