“We’re excited to be live at the Computer History Museum to celebrate great business achievements, exceptional leadership, reconnect with peers, forge new partnerships, and obtain new perspectives into the fast-paced venture capital industry from the world’s leading investors and entrepreneurs," said Adela Cepeda, Angeles Board Chair and Director at BMO Financial Corp.

Keynote speaker and CEO & Founder of Conectado, Guillermo Diaz, Jr., will open the event with a discussion on Leveraging the Metaverse to Connect, Grow our Community and Grow our Economy, followed by panel discussions featuring CEOs of America's Top Early Stage Ventures. Accredited investors will have an opportunity to hear a few of America’s top startups pitch for funding and invest as Friends of Angeles.
