The VENTURE Forum is proud to announce our virtual Summer 2025 DIGITAL VENTURE Forum, showcasing over 200 selected disruptive startups to an audience of more than 200 investors, including angel investors, angel investor groups, venture capital firms, and corporate venture capital units. This event will provide opportunities for startups to virtually meet with our participating investors from July 7 to 11 using our new exclusive one-on-one partnering platform.
About the VENTURE FORUM organization
We are a group that leverages decades of experience in angel and fund investing. We have built a large network of investors and partners who invest in innovative, disruptive, and high-potential companies.
The Summer 2025 DIGITAL VENTURE Forum will be virtual, allowing anyone to participate from anywhere in the world—no need to book plane tickets or hotel accommodations! While we believe that face-to-face meetings can offer certain advantages, we have learned that both virtual and in-person meetings can be effective.

Testimonials
Thank you for the opportunity to pitch at Venture Forum today and for organizing such a fantastic event. The panels and overall experience were outstanding
Manoel Suhet
Founder & CEO, bTd Travel
I wanted to write and thank you for the Venture Forum experience. While I was humbled by coming second in our category, more importantly, it was a great learning experience. It was great to be amongst a peer group, each presenting. It is inevitable that being amongst a group of others, doing the same as you, you find improvements, you find learnings, and it is valuable. I very much appreciate the organization of the event: it was well run. Everything was clear. Everything was on time. Awesome.

“The Venture Forum event was awesome for us. We got 16 meetings in one week and received soft commits from 8 angel groups for our pre-seed round. Great work, John!”
Rockwell Scharer
CEO, MediaBook.US
The Fall 2024 Digital Venture Forum organized by John Ricci and team is a forum that I found very useful. Every time I register to this forum, I know I will get to meet 1 or 2 new potential investors on a friendly basis. The format is simple and easy to participate. This opens up doors for us to close our seed round in 2025.”
