To deepen industry engagement with the broader capital market, SVCA is going to host an inaugural assembly that extends our effort to tackle issues on governance and liquidity.


The half-day gathering will feature a series of roundtables on issues that may not be adequately tackled at conferences and matter to our industry. This format allows every member of the Assembly to actively engage in at least two topics you care most about, and to contribute learnings or ask questions that will be answered by an expert panel curated for each topic of discussion.


The Assembly will begin with a macro geoeconomic perspective on private markets with Andrew Staples. He brings three decades of experience in connecting the dots between global shifts and local realities and will be joined in the fireside chat with Sunil Mishra, Partner at Adam Street Partners and SVCA Chair.


Topics up for discussion include:

(1) Driving Exits Today

(2) Right-sizing Governance for Different Stages of a Startup Life Cycle (hosted by Ernst & Young)

(3) Is the IPO Market Open?

(4) Secondaries and Continuation Funds (hosted by Morgan Lewis)

(5) Fraud Prevention and Lessons Learned

(6) Board Governance (hosted by Mourant Ozannes)
