This Week’s Events

Upcoming Events

Thu, May 21, 05:30 PM The Startup Pitch: Demo Showcase

What Happened Last Week?

We hosted our Boston Private Founders Breakfast featuring Lexi Quirk, Managing Director & Head of Product at 645 Ventures ($550M+ AUM), at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant! Together with a curated group of founders, we got insights on what it really takes to stand out in today’s fundraising landscape. From building relationships with investors early (not just at the pitch stage), to raising the bar for outreach, to how venture firms are leveraging AI and internal tooling to make faster, smarter decisions.

A huge thank you to Lexi for the thoughtful sharing, Kristen for moderating, and Fidelity Private Shares & JP Morgan for making this breakfast possible!

Much love,
