Aperture? Venture Capital

A few weeks ago, we hosted an incredible?Spark Dinner?at Passerine NYC?in collaboration with?Silicon Valley Bank. It was more than just a dinner—it was an evening filled with?laughter, deep conversations, and raw, unfiltered reflections?on the challenges and opportunities shaping our industries. In a time when the market is testing resilience and the world feels more complex than ever, these moments of?genuine connection matter. At?Aperture? Venture Capital, we believe that transformation in venture happens when we not only invest in innovation but also in the?people and communities?that drive it. That’s why our vision—“See Different. Be Different.”—is more than a mantra; it’s a movement. A heartfelt thank you to our partners at?SVB?and to everyone who joined us. Your energy, stories, and insights made the night?unforgettable. More to come—let’s keep building together. #SparkDinners #VentureCommunity #SeeDifferentBeDifferent #VentureCapital #FinancialTechnology #Fintech Annu Yadav Brooke Daniels Carlos Barksdale Charlie Williamson DeDe (not Dede) Brown Eric A.
