Don’t miss Vijay “Unleashed!”

Are you ready to delve into the world of entrepreneurship and venture capital? Access Silicon Valley and U First Capital invite you to join us for an EXCLUSIVE discussion with Vijay Reddy, a partner at the Mayfield Fund, one of the hottest, most innovative, and respected venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, who have recently closed on the $250 million AI Start Fund, focusing on early stage AI companies (investing $500K-$5 million). Mayfield has raised more than 20 U.S. funds, has more than 120 IPOs, 225 M&A exits, $3.0B under management and made more than 550 investments in startups.

In this unleashed event (we call it "unleashed" because this event will be interactive, audience driven), Vijay will delve into the dynamic landscape of entrepreneurship and venture capital and the rapidly changing world related to AI and AI investments. Vijay has a unique experience to share—he co-founded his first startup after dropping out of his PhD program, and held several senior business development and product development roles at Broadcom and Intel. He has over a decade of inception and early-stage investing experience in AI and deeptech, from Clear Ventures, Intel Capital and Mayfield. Vijay has invested across the AI stack from silicon, systems, infrastructure software, data, middleware and tools and applications.
