Join Andrew Ervin, Deputy CIO at Alumni Ventures, and Hilary Ncala, EVP Investor Relations, for a deep look inside how venture capitalists actually evaluate a deal — the scorecards, signals, and screens that turn 500+ monthly opportunities into a small handful of investments worth backing.

Join Mike Collins, Founder & CEO of Alumni Ventures, alongside Gray Chynoweth, CEO of PrePublic Equity Partners, for a conversation on what could be the most consequential private-market year in history — as SpaceX launched its record IPO, and Anthropic and OpenAI take steps toward public listings that could introduce more than $3 trillion in new market value to public investors over a matter of months.

Join Drew Wandzilak, Managing Partner of Alumni Ventures’ U.S. Strategic Tech Fund, for a look at one of the most consequential — and most underfunded — venture opportunities of the decade: capturing the tribal knowledge inside America’s defense industrial base before an entire generation of skilled workers retires, and building the AI-native manufacturers positioned to own what comes next.

Join Mike Peri, Partner at Alumni Ventures’ Bascom Ventures, and Senior Principal Keaton Nankivil for a final opportunity to learn about the fund before it closes — and a clear-eyed look at how Wisconsin-connected venture is constructed, what the portfolio looks like today, and how accredited investors can participate before the window shuts.

Join Alumni Ventures’ Wesley Yiu and the 116 Street Ventures team for a welcome webinar designed for new members of the 116 Street Syndicate — an inside look at how the syndicate works, what to expect from our Columbia-connected deal flow, and how to make the most of your access.
