StrictlyVC: AI and Athletes in the Real West Village

Is Silicon Valley’s former VP now a board game enthusiast? Or is he just trying to liven up the party?

Mark your calendars: on Thursday night, September 10, StrictlyVC is hosting a tech- and sports-filled evening in New York’s West Village, the real one, not the faux one.


Expect deep dives into artificial intelligence with Keith Rabois, a venture capitalist who’s invested in OpenAI, and discussions on sports organizations as business investments with Craig Shapiro and Jason Levien. Tristan Walker will speak about reshoring American craftsmanship, and Brynn Putnam will discuss her new venture, Board, a game company blending physical play with AI.


Deven Parekh, co-founder of Insight Partners, will share insights on how the firm is navigating the investment landscape, given the growing size of capital markets. The night will be filled with drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and networking opportunities, with fireside chats between TechCrunch writers and other industry experts.


Will this event bring the tech world to the real West Village, or just more Patagonia-clad VCs? Only time will tell.
