Venture Feud @ New York Climate Week

Back and better than ever. What some people (not our moms) called "the best event of SF Climate Week" left the West Coast with bragging rights and the East Coast with a serious grudge. The trash talk never really stopped, so we're bringing Venture Feud to New York, this time on East Coast turf.

RA Capital and JP Morgan are once again flipping the script on the typical Climate Week panel: a live West Coast (B Capital, Congruent, Khosla, Obvious, Voyager Ventures) vs. East Coast (Activate, Azolla, Clean Energy Ventures, New System Ventures, Valo Ventures) game show rematch. The all-star Partner teams are:

Representing the West Coast

Andrew Beebe, Obvious Ventures

Rajesh Swaminathan, Khosla Ventures

Jeff Johnson, B Capital

Abe Yokell, Congruent Ventures

Sierra Peterson, Voyager Ventures

Representing the East Coast:

Matthew Nordan, Azolla Ventures

Dan Goldman, Clean Energy Ventures

Jon Guerster, Activate Capital

Scott Tierney, Valo Ventures

Ian Samuels, New System Ventures

Returning as MC is Kathryn Meng from RA Capital to guide the teams through a competition on venture capital and technology and sector trends. Sharp instincts and fast buzzer hits will win over talking points and poise. The West Coast took the title after San Francisco — now the East Coast gets its shot to claim it, at home.

Before the big day, we ask that you fill out this short survey. The teams' mission? Guess the most popular responses. The stakes? Regional pride and bragging rights.

Come for the gameshow, stay to watch the skyline light up from JP Morgan's new offices, leave with a little more intel on how VCs really think.

Are you in?
