Exclusive Silicon Valley Event Features Top Tech Innovators

Mark your calendars for June 18, when Silicon Valley’s StrictlyVC evening returns to Menlo Park with a lineup of visionary leaders shaping the future of technology.

Ali Partovi, a seasoned investor and operator, will discuss his ambitious venture Neo, which is redefining how Silicon Valley identifies rising engineering and leadership talent. Neo’s systematic approach aims to spot the next generation of tech titans before they become widely known.

Joining Partovi is Russell Kaplan, president of Cognition, a rapidly growing AI coding assistant company valued at $4 billion. Cognition, backed early by Neo, exemplifies the fast-paced evolution and challenges of AI startups today.

Also featured is Baiju Bhatt, co-founder of Robinhood, now leading Aetherflux, a fintech startup developing a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites to collect and transmit solar energy. Fresh off a $50 million Series A round, Aetherflux is poised to innovate in space-based energy solutions.

This event is more than just talks; it’s a nexus where big ideas meet real-world impact. StrictlyVC’s mission is to connect thought leaders, investors, and founders to foster understanding of how technology reshapes industries in real time.

Hosted at The Quad on Sand Hill Road and co-sponsored by Mayfield, this evening promises essential conversations, networking opportunities, and informal moments where the best insights often emerge.

Whether you’re an investor seeking the next breakthrough or a founder navigating the fast-evolving AI and space tech landscapes, this event offers a rare chance to engage directly with pioneers driving innovation.

Seats are limited, so register early to secure your place at this can’t-miss gathering of Silicon Valley’s brightest minds.
