Venture 53 Presents
An exclusive Invitation to
FIELD DAY in the
BIG PEACH
Founders and Funders Field Day is not just another industry conference. It’s a one day event in the field of peaches - the South’s Logistics Hub - Atlanta GA. Join us one day before the The Future Of Supply Chain conference by Freightwaves.
Field Day is an invite-only event featuring a collection of like-minded founders and funders to talk about improving American productivity through supply chain tech innovation.
You are invited to join a special group of just 10 select venture capital companies, 30 select early stage companies, industry legends and visionaries for a packed agenda focused solely on how early stage companies can be grown. It’s going to be peachy.
For Founders
It’s the most productive, in-depth, single day in the field you can spend. Packed with venture capital companies and industry legends and visionary operators, this time together will inspire and change the way you think about your exit journey.
For FUNDERS
With only a handful of Supply Tech Focused VC’s at all stages of funding attending, these firms will only meet and showcase their own established early stage supply chain tech companies. These companies hold the most promise to improve American productivity. Network for better deal flow and funding for your own portfolio companies.
