VC Platform Sponsorship Guide
Behind every leading venture firm is a team that decides which product, tool, and service provider its portfolio actually uses. These are the platform professionals – the people who shape how hundreds of startups buy, build, and scale. VC Platform is where members gather. We are the community built exclusively for the operators who run the modern VC firm.
A select group of partners build with us – not as a logo on a banner or a list of cold leads, but as a trusted presence in the most influential peer network in venture, where one relationship can compound across an entire portfolio and a recommendation made here becomes a decision made everywhere else. Each year, we partner with only a handful of deeply aligned organizations that are ready to roll up their sleeves and create with us.
The Audience
Every VC Platform member is a full-time, verified platform professional vetted against strict criteria and confirmed in a public-facing role at their firm. The community is for operators who are hands-on creating value for their founders – not investors, assistants, or part-time investors. Platform professionals are the buyers and recommenders of products and services, shaping vendor selection across an entire firm and portfolio.
Breaking it down
The VC Platform community has been an essential and collaborative partner for Google's partnership work with VCs and startups across the globe. The community is highly engaged and always looking to develop and source solutions and ideas through collaboration. The leadership embodies professionalism, openness and a first-class approach that brings it all together as a significant force in the VC ecosystem.
VC Platform
Global Summit
Our annual private, members-only Summit is the premiere opportunity for sponsors to engage with the community. We bring together 500+ ambitious operators who power the venture ecosystem. Together, we are redefining how firms create lasting impact through collaboration, candor, and community.
For sponsors, the Summit is the marquee engagement experience as part of your annual sponsorship and provides you a unique opportunity to meet with hundreds of venture capital firms all in one room. We focus on keeping our sponsorship pool small intentionally to optimize for intimate experiences at the Summit. This singular event saves you from hundreds of hours on virtual calls.

Partnering with the VC Platform community as a sponsor was a No-Brainer for us. Not only are the VC Platform staff and board a joy to work with, the community itself is authentic, engaged, and open to potential partnerships. Every interaction we've had with VC Platform, either in-person, online, or over email, has been a value add.
