StrictlyVC is pulling together some notable names for its upcoming San Francisco event on April 30. Leaders from TDK Ventures, Replit, and other companies will be in the room, making it one of those gatherings where the hallway conversations might be just as valuable as whatever happens on stage.
For those unfamiliar, StrictlyVC events tend to be smaller, more curated affairs. Think less "massive conference hall" and more "actually talk to people who are building and funding things." That format has made them a consistent draw for folks in the venture and startup world.
The Replit connection is particularly interesting right now. The company has been pushing hard on AI-powered coding tools and recently made waves with its agent-based development features. Having their leadership in a room full of investors and founders could signal where developer tooling conversations are heading next.
TDK Ventures, the corporate venture arm of TDK Corporation, brings a different angle. They tend to focus on deep tech and hardware-adjacent investments, which adds some diversity to what could otherwise be a purely software-focused conversation.
If you work in AI, dev tools, or venture, this is the kind of event worth paying attention to. Space is limited according to the organizers, so it is not a "decide the day before" situation.
The event is less than a month out. Registration is currently open for those looking to grab a pass before spots fill up.
