Happy New Year from Vencapital, welcome to 2026 🎉 🤝 Thank you to all the GPs and LPs who made the Boston Venture Finance Summit a remarkable gathering! Together, we discussed the future of the private market and how GPs can adopt to the changing venture landscape. We can't wait to see where all the GP/LP partnerships and connections we helped facilitate leads.
