Venture Black Q4 Venture Conference
Saturday, December 5, 2026 | 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. | Seattle, WA
Join founders, athletes, investors, and industry leaders for a day exploring ownership, innovation, and the next generation of Black-founded ventures.
The conference opens with Robert Laing, J.D., former Associate at IBM Ventures, on corporate venture capital relationships and innovation.
A League of Their Own follows with a conversation on athlete ownership through founding and funding technology startups and sports leagues.
After lunch, five Black-founded, high-growth startups featuring founders with sports backgrounds or companies building in sportstech take the stage for the
Demo Day Finals. Each company will deliver an eight-minute pitch followed by investor Q&A, competing for a winner-take-all investment prize. The day concludes with voting and
the winner announcement. Discover emerging companies, connect with the people backing them, and celebrate founders building what comes next.
