As we move into Q4 2026, venture capital is settling into the era of the agentic fund. In our Q3 survey of GPs and LPs worldwide, autonomous agents claimed the top spot, and every one of the four leading trends was an AI theme. That is a clear sign the market is betting on AI that acts, not AI that simply assists. Exits came back onto the board too, with IPO and M&A reopening landing fifth overall. The rise of emerging managers also held a top-tier spot as smaller specialist funds keep winning commitments that once went to the biggest names.
In this session, we'll revisit the top trends from Q3 and explore what the final quarter of the year holds, focusing on the sectors and investment strategies set to dominate. We'll look at how agentic startups are reaching revenue with leaner teams and less capital, and what that means for the check sizes and ownership targets emerging managers should expect.
With insights spanning AI, deep tech, fintech, health sciences, and more, this discussion will offer valuable perspectives for both new and seasoned VCs navigating the ever changing landscape of venture capital. Cast your vote in the Q4 survey, then join us live for the full breakdown. Don't miss the opportunity!
