Tackling the Goliath: How AI Is Reshaping Venture Capital

Co-hosted with the Massachusetts AI Coalition, we invite you to a no-holds-barred discussion on the impact of AI on venture capital. For the first time in the industry's history, venture capital is confronting a technology that is both its biggest investment opportunity and a force capable of fundamentally changing how venture itself operates. From sourcing and diligence to portfolio support and fund management, AI is rewriting the rules in real time. This panel turns the lens toward the firms themselves and how VCs are rewiring their internal processes, workflows, and decision-making from the inside out. Join leading investors and operators as they separate signal from noise and tackle the question on everyone's mind: Is AI simply the next great investment wave or is it transforming venture capital itself?
