www.pitchglobal.comPitch Global(www.pitchglobal.com) and ---Silicon Valley’s first --- PG CVC Accelerator (www.pitchglobalcvc.mn.co), backed by funding& mentoring Agencies of Cal Gov’s Office of Economic Development of which we are a long term affiliateOur Founder KC was involved in co-hosting some of the largest investor events in SF & Silicon Valley but realized that organizing smaller, more curated events with a core culture (built in our case over philanthropy where he served on the local Board of Leukemia& Lymphoma Society with other prominent investors)   where  people have deeper connections is of the most value to entrepreneurs.  So KC exited his previous platforms and launched Pitch Global in early 2016. The following is a  video is from our launch event; of special mention are 2 investors featured here:Vish Mishra, VC with Clearstone and  Former long term President of TIE SV/TIECON; andRobert Winter, VC with Da Vinci Capital, and early investor in Nvidia where he has generated 100000 X ROI.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0hr_ikCVwgHow we started working with CVC’s: Axel—who was  US CEO of R VC Fund of Funds, investors in IVP & other leading funds,  came on board soon after as the Founding EIR (Entrepreneur-in-Residence). We were approached by Japanese conglomerate Ricoh, to help spin out their (non-core) Medtech division into a separate company. We not only led a successful spin out, we  also found them a Lead Investor, a doctor from Stanford,  who later became the CEO of the spinout.  When COVID hit, we predicted that CVC’s investing early stage would become a huge trend, and with the support of our backers at the State of Ca, we have not only  built the Silicon Valley CVC network but also created a global footprint.The following article on one of the Agency sites explains how Pitch Global is  connected with State of California Funding & Mentoring Agencies; the majority of Telemetrak’s funding is from Caltech Angels which they met at our event, and with our State of Ca funded Mentoring, they started getting repeated Govt Grants and Federal Contracts and turned profitable and deferred their next round.  www.norcalsbdc.org/client-stories/telemetrakEntrepreneurs at Pitch Global has gone on to raise $ 1b + since inception. Entrepreneurs who are part of our State of Ca funded Mentoring has raised $ 250 m+ in the last few years.Following is a recent update about some recent funding examples from funds like Caltech Angels, Wharton Angels  etc  at our events along with  coverage of our Climate Tech and Deep Tech/AI vericals.  thelosangelestribune.com/2023/12/27/unique_startup_investment_updates_from_our_cvcs_vcs_and_angels .We have merged our Corporate VC, Govt& Impact Funding (CGIF) Summit with Alliance Indus Foundation ---which joins the Govts of USA, India, Dubai/Saudi etc at the highest level and provides unparalleled access to Govt Grants Givers and Head of States--where our Founder has joined as Secretary of the Board.
