Cross-Border Venture Summit 2017 | ExL Events, Inc. | 1 November 2017 | Quadrus Conference Center & Catering, 2400 Sand Hill Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, US

57% of venture capital is deployed outside of the US and that number increases every quarter. 47% of unicorns are headquartered outside of the US. The largest IPO in history came from China. Now more than ever, investors must have a strategy that goes beyond the 30 mile radius of Silicon Valley in order to not miss fund returning investments.

Cross-Border Venture Summit is an invitation-only summit for the venture capitalists, angel investors and limited partners that are investing in the world's most disruptive companies. The Cross-Border Summit will feature deep, candid discussions with world-leading investors on the tech trends, investing theses and strategies that they execute to manage risk and build high-performing, global startup portfolios.

At the heart of the Summit is the G-Startup Worldwide Global Finals, where startups chosen by investors from thousands of startups in Bangalore, Tel Aviv, Beijing, Jakarta, Seoul, Sao Paulo and Silicon Valley will pitch top Silicon Valley VC’s for a $250,000 investment. G-Startup Worldwide alumni have collectively raised over $11.6 billion.
