Why does this conversation matter now
Because dispersed teams, regional nodes and global funds are becoming more normalized, the founders are increasingly asking whether their postal code actually gives them an advantage. Does being in Bay Area still open the right door? Or possibly the pitch finally leveled?
This session combines startup veterans and experienced investors who built and supported corporations throughout the country – and significantly outside of it. They will fall into what access looks like in 2025, how distant cooperation has evolved postpandemics and where there is a real likelihood for emerging founders.
