Where Innovation Meets Community

Corporate Venture Connections Series

Corporate Venture Connections Series (CVCS) is a series of virtual events hosted by the ECA and designed to connect enterprise capital entities from across the US, to investment opportunities in the Washington state entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The events feature a panel of enterprise capital investors who share their investment thesis with an audience of founders, service providers, VC investors and other stakeholders. The group, moderated by a leading founder or industry expert, then discusses the state of the industry and relevant investment news before entering breakout rooms for deeper discussion.

Entrepreneurs can then apply for a 1:1 meeting with the participating enterprise VCs. The ECA team vets the applications to match the enterprise capital investors with the Washington-based founders by screening for investment thesis fit, relevance, and traction.
