Who is doing the internship?
You can get a ticket right now.but for those who haven’t been to a StrictlyVC event in the past and already clicked on that link, let’s dive into what’s particularly exciting about this one…
TDK Companies president Nicolas Sauvage will begin after you’ve had the necessary drinks and networking, while making the case for corporate venture capitalists in a conversation with TechCrunch editor-in-chief Connie Loizos. Sauvage, who is leading TDK Ventures’ $500 million effort to invest in early-stage startups, will explain what makes corporate venture capitalists operate differently and what founders should know about what catches their attention in an investment.

And hesitant founders should take note: Sauvage has led TDK to back 52 startups and three unicorns (Groq, Ascend Elements, and Silicon Box) during his tenure. TDK will also be hosting and sponsoring this StrictlyVC event, so attendees will have ample opportunity to learn and have possible face time with your team.
Then we will move on to a conversation with Campbell Brownformer CNN anchor and head of news at Meta, who has since pivoted to the startup scene as she seeks to make AI platforms more trustworthy as more and more people turn to them for advice and information. She is now the co-founder and CEO of Forum AIand in the middle of the conversation about how to examine, verify and maintain the veracity of the information provided by LLMs.

And those who are also part of the AI revolution will be pleased to know. Amjad Masadco-founder and CEO of RepeatHe also takes the stage to share his first-hand experience helping lead a revolution in the way software is built. The rise of vibration coding has changed the way many have worked, especially in the Bay Area, and that has also attracted some potent competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI. Anyone looking to get a glimpse into the future of programming will have to join us and stick around to hear Masad’s talk.
As if all that wasn’t exciting enough, we still have one more speaker to announce, so you’ll gain even more knowledge and experience in the final round of networking and connection building that defines the true testing point of StrictlyVC.
