Join VIPC for a fireside chat with Wes Barton, who went from M&A lawyer to private equity and hedge fund investor, before co-founding Third Prime in 2016. Today, Third Prime is a premier early-stage venture firm with over $500M in assets under management, leading and co-leading seed rounds across the FinTech, PropTech and industrial technology sectors.

Wes will share Third Prime’s investment thesis and discuss the challenges founders face when scaling their businesses. We’ll also dive into what Wes looks for when leading a round and how founders can position themselves for the right early investors. Don’t miss this chance to connect with a veteran investor and hear his direct advice for founders building today!
