Curated Media Dinner

Challenge

As one of Silicon Valley's most respected seed-stage venture firms, Uncork Capital has deep insight into where technology and venture investing are headed. But meaningful relationships with the journalists shaping those conversations are not built digitally. 

The firm wanted to bring together a select group of the country's most influential venture capital reporters for an intimate, off-the-record discussion about AI, startup investing, the exit market, and the future of venture capital. The objective wasn't a single story. It was to establish trust, create ongoing dialogue, and position Uncork's partners as thoughtful voices on the industry's most important trends.

Approach

  • Conceived, planned, and produced an invitation-only media dinner from strategy through execution.
  • Curated a guest list of 15 of the nation's leading venture capital and technology reporters.
  • Developed discussion themes around AI, seed investing, venture market dynamics, and the exit environment.
  • Prepared every Uncork partner with tailored messaging, discussion topics, and individual briefing profiles for each attending journalist.
  • Managed all event logistics, seating strategy, invitations, and on-site execution to maximize meaningful conversations between reporters and partners.

The results

One evening. Fifteen journalists. Thirteen of the most influential publications in venture capital and technology, and the beginning of relationships that extend well beyond a single night.

15 top-tier venture and technology journalists attended
