7BC’s Fund of Funds + Cherry-Pick Direct VC Strategy (and why now) + Invitation to 7BC VC-LP-Startup EventsLearn how 7BC combines a Fund of Funds (FoF) with a Cherry Pick Direct VC strategy to back top-decile managers and invest directly in their best companies—unlocking liquidity with secondaries so VCs can return cash to LPs faster.What you’ll learn• Why FoF + Direct VC now• The best VCs from the ’70s–’90s scaled 10x–30x and became mega funds doing late growth rounds near exit prices. Returns are more compressed and take longer to realize.• The Cambrian explosion of VC funds: Alumni from OpenAI, Palantir, Google and countless exited founders have launched funds. NYC went from 50 VCs fifteen years ago to 1,200+; Silicon Valley has thousands. It’s now impossible to track managers and deals without serious AI and dedicated resources.• How 7BC Capital (FoF) invests: We often join final closes of top emerging managers after TVPI is already up, making our commitment worth appromimately 1.2x–2.5x on day one. For established, top-decile sub-$250m funds, we work hard to access first or second closes when final closes are shut.• How 7BC Venture Capital (Direct VC) invests: We fund primaries and buy secondaries—typically preferred shares in the best five companies inside a VC’s portfolio—so that manager can deliver DPI to LPs ahead of their next raise. This directly addresses the VC–LP–startup liquidity crunch.• Our AI edge: 7BC uses AI to map and monitor thousands of VC funds and tens of thousands of startups, surfacing the right managers, the right companies, and the right secondary windows.Get in touch & apply for events• Contact us to attend our 10-20 person VIP dinners the day before or after our larger Global VC Demo Day events: https://www.7bc.vc/contact• Apply to attend upcoming events: https://lu.ma/user/usr-8Y0b18KjVLZhAPmUpcoming in-person events🍎 New York City — Sept 17, 2025 — Host: Brown Rudnick🇺🇸 Washington, DC — Sept 25, 2025 — Host: Foley🇨🇱 Austin — Oct 14, 2025 — Host: CBRE🇺🇸 San Francisco — Oct 29, 2025 (day after TechCrunch Disrupt) — Host: Greenberg Traurig☀️ Los Angeles / Santa Monica — Nov 5, 2025 — Host: ExpertDOJO🌴 Miami — Dec 4, 2025 (during Art Basel, Dec 3–7)🇦🇪 Dubai — Feb 2026🍎 New York City — Apr 2026 — Host: Brown Rudnick🇺🇸 San Francisco — Apr 2026 — Host: Greenberg Traurig🇸🇬 Singapore — May 2026 — Host: Greenberg Traurig🇩🇪 Berlin — June 11, 2026 (day after SuperVenture)🇬🇧 London — June 16, 2026 — Host: Brown Rudnick 👍 Like, comment & subscribe for more discussions on venture strategies, liquidity, and portfolio construction.
