How LPs, GPs, CVCs, GOVT, Family Offices & Founders Scale with Asian <--> Silicon Valley Capital
Cross‑Border Capital, CVC, LPs, Family Office will give perspective for Silicon Valley Access – Inaugural Singapore Edition
Pitch Global (8+ years as the hybrid in-person/online CVC pitching platform with CA-government-backed CVC Accelerator and $1B+ alumni funding) is launching Silicon Valley Access – the first online event built exclusively for real-time, bilateral capital flow between Silicon Valley and Asia.
In this high-energy, mostly live Q&A format, top GPs, LPs, CVCs, Family Offices, and Founders from Singapore, Southeast Asia, India, and the US will openly share:
How they co-invest across borders without losing control or speed
How portfolio companies scale traction on both sides of the Pacific (US market access + Asia manufacturing/supply-chain advantages)
Exact playbooks for navigating regulatory, cultural, and execution gaps that kill 70% of cross-border deals
Followed by 4–5 select startup pitches that are pre-vetted for genuine Asia–US bilateral upside (not pay-to-pitch filler).
This is not another generic webinar. It is the missing bridge that connects:
US CVCs & VCs → to Singapore/Asia-based LPs hungry for direct Silicon Valley exposure and co-investment rights
Singapore/Asia LPs & Family Offices → to US CVCs & VCs who need Asian capital, local partners, and faster route-to-market in the world’s fastest-growing tech ecosystems
Organized in close partnership with our Sponsor & Inaugural Event Partner, Quals – the very team that helped establish Silicon Valley Access in Singapore and now serves as its official secretary.

AGENDA

Why Anybody Would Be Interested in Coming – The Bilateral Opportunity Argument
Because right now, in 2026, the smartest capital on both sides of the Pacific is actively looking for exactly this room:
US CVCs & VCs are sitting on massive dry powder but face shrinking domestic rounds and higher valuations. They need Asia LPs who can write $5M–$25M checks today, bring local manufacturing scale, and open doors in the world’s largest growth markets — without the usual 12–18 month fund-raising slog.
Singapore & Asia LPs / Family Offices have grown tired of “tourist” US funds that treat them as pure capital providers. They want direct co-investment access to Silicon Valley’s best deep-tech, climate-tech, advanced manufacturing, and HealthTech deals — plus real operational help for their portfolio companies to land US customers and talent.
Founders (especially those with dual US-Asia traction) finally get a stage where investors from both sides are in the same (virtual) room, pre-aligned on cross-border strategy, and actively looking to deploy capital together.
This event solves the exact friction Pitch Global has heard for years: “We love CVC access, but we need real LP capital from Asia too.”
Bottom line: If you are a US CVC/VC wanting Asian capital partners, a Singapore/Asia LP/Family Office wanting Silicon Valley deal flow, or a founder building across both markets — this is the highest-ROI hour you will spend online this quarter. Past Pitch Global events have directly led to $1B+ in alumni funding. Silicon Valley Access is engineered to do the same — but now with Asia on equal footing.
