The business of Venture Capital is undergoing a once in a generation disruption. This shift is having profound implications for how an entrepreneur starts, grows, and ultimately exits a company.

Bullpen and Vator began a discussion about this topic in the summer with Peter Thiel keynoting our event: Venture Shift San Francisco. Many asked us to continue this conversation and as a result we are happy to announce Venture Shift New York.

Venture Shift will be held on November 17 at Le Poisson Rouge in New York, and will kick off at 4 pm with an open wine bar throughout the night. We have an all star speaker line up.  The full agenda follows. You can register here: Venture Shift NY.
