Join us for an informative panel discussion and cocktail hour/networking event featuring Ring Ventures Managing Partner Larry Warnock and Congress Avenue Ventures Managing Partner Rob Adams. The panel will discuss why NOW is actually a very good time to invest in the venture capital asset class, and how individuals are now able to invest (not just endowments and foundations) directly into venture capital funds. They will also discuss the current market volatility and the need to diversify individual portfolios, as well as effective strategies to do that.
