AAPI Annual Summer Party
Gold House Ventures, SVB, and Stand with Asian Americans, would like to invite you to join us for an evening of networking with fellow AAPI founders and investors, featuring connection, community, and exceptional wine tasting in the Bay Area. We sincerely appreciate our community sponsors that are making this event possible: Foley & Lardner, Escalon Services, & Colliers International.
As AAPI leaders in tech, we know the unique challenges and triumphs of our journey. This intimate gathering is designed specifically for us – to strengthen our bonds, share our wins, and figure out how we can better support each other's success. Because representation matters, and so does building authentic relationships within our community.
The night will feature a thoughtfully curated wine tasting experience with standout Napa Valley wineries (non-alcoholic options included), guided by a sommelier from the SVB wine team. Our featured wineries include:
Caymus Vineyards
Robert Craig Vineyards
Expect cozy vibes, unfiltered conversations, and a community that just gets it. Whether you're scaling your startup or growing your fund, this is your space to unwind with fellow AAPI leaders.
Who should come: AAPI investors and founders with institutional funding experience. However, all professions, races, and backgrounds are welcomed.
As always, light bites and drinks, engaging conversation, and incredible company will be provided!
