From Garage to Gong – An Inside View of Full Stack Tech Investing

A company may start with a few founders and a prototype. Years later, it may ring the opening bell. Between those two moments, it raises capital again and again: venture equity, late-stage secondaries, growth debt, and public-market financing. From Garage to Gong! An Inside View of Full-Stack Tech Investing brings together investors from across that journey to explain what each layer is, what trends they are seeing in tech and AI, and how individual investors can think about access at each stage. The discussion is educational, practical, and built for Tech Week.

Core promise: In 30 minutes, attendees understand how a tech company gets financed from garage to gong – and the specific ways individuals can participate at each stage, subject to eligibility, risk, and offering requirements.
