Virtual

Join VIPC’s Virginia Venture Partners (VVP) and AV (formerly Airbus Ventures) for a virtual conversation on how a deep-tech venture fund chooses startups, and what founders should know about the difference between strategic and financial capital.

VIPC’s Senior Investment Director, Marco Rubin, sits down with Mike Walsh of AV to discuss what AV is investing in now, how it’s built differently from a CVC, and what founders should ask any investor with a corporate connection.

This event is for founders building in aerospace, defense, energy, space, and other deep tech, and for anyone who wants to understand how different kinds of venture capital work. It’s a chance to hear directly from the people writing the checks.

Open Q&A and breakout rooms will follow the conversation. Registration is required, so save your spot today.
