StrictlyVC’s initial San Francisco event of the year, scheduled for April 30, targets AI innovators and founders seeking insights on securing capital. The gathering is poised to offer substantive discussions on venture capital dynamics, particularly within the burgeoning artificial intelligence sector that continues to attract significant investment.

Nicolas Sauvage, President of TDK Ventures, is set to open the proceedings, detailing the distinct operational model of corporate VCs. Sauvage’s track record includes backing 52 startups and guiding three companies—Groq, Ascend Elements, and Silicon Box—to unicorn status during his supervision of the firm’s $500 million fund.

Other key participants include Forum AI CEO Campbell Brown, who is concentrating on establishing trust in AI platforms, and Amjad Masad, Replit’s co-founder, who will discuss the shift in software construction spurred by 'vibe coding.' These sessions provide direct access to leaders shaping both investment strategy and programming methodology.

Attendees gain direct exposure to figures managing substantial capital and those driving core technological shifts in software development. The event emphasizes networking alongside expert panels, ensuring practical takeaways for attendees navigating the current funding environment.
