TechCrunch’s boutique evening series, StrictlyVC, is set to return to New York’s West Village on September 10, marking the company’s first New York event in two years following successful gatherings in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Athens. The evening promises a “stacked lineup” of notable speakers and discussions.

The event will kick off with Keith Rabois, who recently relocated from Silicon Valley, sharing his perspectives on venture capital, including his views on founders raising excessive capital and Khosla Ventures’ early investment in OpenAI. Following Rabois, Craig Shapiro of Collaborative Fund and Jason Levien, CEO of D.C. United, will engage in a conversation about sports organizations as business investments and the intersection of sports, fandom, commerce, and community. The lineup also includes Tristan Walker, discussing his new venture Heirloom Craft focused on reshoring American fine craftsmanship, and Brynn Putnam, whose latest company, Board, blends physical play with AI-powered creation tools. Lastly, Deven Parekh of Insight Partners will provide insights into how the firm navigates a landscape where asset classes are increasingly indistinguishable and capital is abundant. The event will feature drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and networking opportunities with TechCrunch writers and industry peers. Source
