"I think Village's innovative structure as a seed fund will lead to many interesting teams securing their first round of funding, and will improve the quality and quantity of companies that connect with major venture firms for their series A rounds and beyond. Village has many great LPs supporting the fund, and I am happy to be one."

"Thank you for organizing this standout event. Getting to join Eric [Schmidt] for a private roundtable with inspiring people and engrossing conversation was an unforgettable experience."
Kevin Caldwell
Co-Founder & CEO, Ossium Health
“That was the best “startup dinner” I have been to. It was a really good mix of people and an engaging setup. Not too pitchy, great food and conversation.”
Sasha Orloff
Co-Founder & Former CEO, LendUp
Founder and CEO, Puzzle
“I’ve been to a lot of events where there is a guest of honor and I can sincerely say this was by far the best. Your focus on knowledge sharing, encouraging other people to prepare in advance, the intimate nature of the venue, how you (Ben) led the group through the mindquakes — it was truly a masterclass in holding this type of event.”
Ryan Caldbeck
CEO, Circle Up
“The Grove was one of, if not the, best of these types of events that I’ve been to. The people in attendance were extraordinary; the scale was just right to promote comradery; the setting was beautiful and the Village team was phenomenal in making everyone feel welcome and appreciated.”
Chris Urmson
CEO, Aurora
What Village Global founders say
@adwane, @bencasnocha, and the rest of the @villageglobal team are some of the best partners we’ve had at @MetaviewAI from the very early days. They have always gone above and beyond to support us, and we’re very lucky to have them alongside us. Also, they throw incredible founder retreats!
Working with @villageglobal is one of the pleasures of my life — they have a different way of doing things
