Before a dollar of venture capital reaches a startup, it passes through a chain of decisions. An LP chooses which fund to back, the fund manager chooses where to deploy, and the founder decides what that capital needs to build. When one link shifts, the effect runs all the way down the line. This roundtable brings those perspectives into one candid conversation about how capital is actually moving as 2026 comes to a close.

We’ll look at where commitments are landing by stage and sector, and what’s behind the rise of smaller, specialist funds. We’ll also explore how AI is reshaping both ends of the chain. Agentic startups are reaching revenue with leaner teams and less capital, which changes how much they raise and when. On the fund side, agents now carry much of the operational load that used to slow a new manager down, and that is changing what LPs weigh when they decide who to back.

You’ll hear where those views line up and where they split, along with what it means for anyone raising or deploying capital in the year ahead. Whether you’re building a fund or raising for your own company, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of where the money is going next.
