ProperRoom NYC: 'Beyond The Cap Table' Coffee Chat (a16z Follow-Up)
An Interview with Special Guest Jack Payne
Pre-IPO & Equity Compensation Advisor: A tactical consultant from the world’s leading $7T+ private wealth institution, interviewed in a rapid-fire, no-nonsense format.
Why 'Beyond The Cap Table'?
Last Friday, PitchRoom curated a16z's Top Venture-Backed ROOM ($1.15B+) at SKËWR NYC on Park Ave for NY Tech Week...
And as is usually the case - most venture-backed founders we meet & fund know how to scale a company.
But few know how to architect the liquidity event that follows.
So here's your chance to join a curated group of Seed to Series A and Series B founders, institutional investors, and family office principals for an explicit, high-signal masterclass on the transition from enterprise value to lasting generational wealth.
This isn't a theoretical pitch. There are no slides. We are hosting a high-velocity, quick-fire Q&A with a senior Pre-IPO & Equity Compensation Advisor from the world's largest private bank—an institution managing over $7T in assets and representing roughly half of the world's billionaires.
We are skipping the generic advice to drill directly into the tactical mechanics that matter when you are within striking distance of an exit.

The Story Behind the ROOM
It all started with 1 Question on the Streets of Hoboken, NJ
"I'll give you ONE MILLION DOLLARS, but there's a catch - what business would you start?"
Jack asked Amit during their first encounter.. by pure happenstance... (he wasn't expecting THIS answer)
"Maybe a bike shop, what about a vectorized insight engine....🤔"
Pre-IPOs & Vectors? That's Proper.
