f50-unops

The Global Capital Summit is a premier gathering in where the most forward-thinking global investors meet Silicon Valley’s leading venture capitalists to connect with and learn from the next generation of world-changing companies who are shaping the future of their industries. Hundreds of investors from China, India, Israel, and more will gather at F50’s Global Capital Summit to discover trending Silicon Valley innovation before these technologies take to the global market.

 

Silicon Valley’s tech founders are moving towards a new strategy for global expansion: finding a key international investor in an early round to help plan for future cross-border reach. F50’s global network of public companies and PE also offer an alternative to many local startups for global exit opportunities.

“Silicon Valley is a mindset, not a location.”

- Reid Hoffman
