It is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or investment advisor and does not provide investment advice or recommendations. The data provided by aVenture does not constitute recommendations or advice, whether by methodology, analysis, AI-generated content, or a statement written by a staff member of aVenture.

aVenture is not affiliated with any of the people, companies, organizations, government agencies, regulatory bodies, or investment funds we provide coverage for on this site unless explicitly stated otherwise. Users assume full responsibility for decisions made based on information obtained from this platform. Links to external websites do not imply endorsement or affiliation with aVenture. Any links that provide the ability to invest in a primary or secondary transaction in a company are for convenience only and do not constitute solicitations or offers to buy or sell an investment. Investors should exercise heightened precaution and due diligence when investing in private companies, especially those not independently audited.

While we strive to provide valuable insights with objectivity and professional diligence, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided on our platform. Before making any investment decisions, you should verify the accuracy of all pertinent details for your decision. To the fullest extent permitted by law, aVenture shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or financial damages arising from use of this site, whether by consumers of its contents directly or by persons or organizations covered by our research, even if we are advised of the possibility.

Profiles on this platform may include content generated in part by large language models (LLMs, artificial intelligence) that aggregate publicly available sources (e.g., SEC EDGAR, public filings, press releases).

Content on our site may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or what are commonly called 'hallucinations' if generated in part or in full by AI / LLMs. The risk can also exist even when content is written by a human, as internal and third-party sources may also have inaccuracies for the same or different reasons. While we randomly audit a proportion of content, this is not exhaustive.

We recommend that an independent auditor be hired to verify the accuracy of the information before relying on it for any sensitive decisions. By accessing this platform, you agree not to rely solely on any information generated by AI, aggregated, or sourced or written otherwise on this site, for investment, financial, or other decisions. aVenture assumes no responsibility for inaccuracies, omissions, or hallucinations.

Two more weeks to go: Connect with Meta, Dropbox, J.P. Morgan, and HP at Disrupt

From TechCrunch

Two more weeks to go: Connect with Meta, Dropbox, J.P. Morgan, and HP at Disrupt

Two more weeks to go: Connect with Meta, Dropbox, J.P. Morgan, and HP at Disrupt

In just over two weeks, TechCrunch will gather some of the startup world’s leading companies at Disrupt in San Francisco. But our partners provide more than just financial support. Their presence at Disrupt gives startups at any stage the tools, knowledge, and community they need to be a success.

We thank Meta for their support of a special invitation-only cocktail reception. If you get the invite to “Women in Tech(Crunch),” the women staff of TechCrunch look forward to seeing you there.

Dropbox DocSend will be hosting a Breakout session and is one of our Startup Battlefield sponsors, as is J.P. Morga . We appreciate the high-octane support for our amazing Battlefield startups! You can also connect with J.P. Morgan at the Women of Disrupt breakfast on Tuesday, October 29 at 8 a.m. PT (first come, first served).

Thank you to HP and Thomson Reuters for sponsoring the sessions on our AI Stage. And many thanks to Casa Azul and Humanx, who are supporting the Speakers and Editors’ Dinner.

We’re grateful for the Metronome-sponsored coffee and espresso bar. Once you have your caffeine, head over to the industry stages, including the StrictlyVC stage, presented by Amplitude, and the SaaS Stage, presented by SingleStore.

Thank you to Braindate for being the official networking provider at Disrupt 2024. Braindates are knowledge-sharing conversations that you book with others to have either one-on-one or in small groups on-site in the Braindate Lounge. They’re the best way to brainstorm, solve challenges, and share expertise or experiences while connecting with new (brilliant!) people.

And don’t miss these companies in the Exhibition Hall:

Selise Group
