TechCrunch just announced something that immediately caught my attention—StrictlyVC is heading to London this May. As someone deeply involved in the startup and venture ecosystem, this event is more than just another dot on the calendar; it's a rare opportunity to be in the same room with the people who are actively shaping the future of tech and investment.
Set for May 13, 2025, the exclusive StrictlyVC evening promises everything I love about the venture world: no-filter conversations, deep insights from industry heavyweights, and real, human connections with other founders and investors. It’s not just another panel-heavy, vendor-filled expo. This is about quality over quantity.
Why This Event Stands Out
StrictlyVC has built a strong reputation for hosting powerful, in-depth conversations with major figures in tech and venture capital. Past guests have included the likes of:
- Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI
- Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz
- Katie Haun, founder of Haun Ventures
- Hans Tung, managing partner at GGV Capital
- David Krane, CEO of GV
That lineup alone tells you the kind of room you’re walking into.
This edition, hosted in partnership with Paladin, a top-tier global investor backing cutting-edge cybersecurity ventures, adds even more value for anyone looking to scale or invest in secure tech. The event will feature not only insightful talks but also some of the best networking opportunities the London venture scene will see this year.
Imagine sharing wine and canapés with people who are not only funding the future but also building it from scratch. That kind of vibe is rare.
As someone who constantly juggles between pitches, product, and partnerships, it’s easy to skip events that don’t offer immediate ROI. But StrictlyVC isn’t one of them. It’s about long-term value, making genuine connections, and being part of the conversations that shape how we invest, innovate, and grow.
StrictlyVC isn’t about flashy lights or oversized stages. It’s intimate, focused, and full of the kind of insights that stick with you. Whether you're a founder building your next big thing or an investor scanning the horizon, this London edition offers something real.
