Lessons from Villagers

In November 2023, Village Global announced the closing of our $250M Fund III, bringing our total AUM to $500M. The Nasdaq Tower in New York City shared the big news.

Each year we bring together Village luminaries and a few dozen of the next wave of industry titans for a series of intimate conversations about how to scale world-changing businesses. We call this gathering The Grove.

Nearly 100 Villagers gathered in the California redwoods for a range of discussions about how to scale our businesses.

At Village HQ, we’re a small team of high performers — entrepreneurs, operators, authors, community builders. We work hard because we’re passionate about pursuing our mission of increasing entrepreneurship around the world. We're reinventing venture capital with our network strategy and are looking for an investor to join us.

The Part Time Researcher will play an essential role in researching the high profile CEOs who attend our events.

We’re delighted to announce that we’re adding another node to the Village network: GPs of small pre-seed and seed stage venture funds.

It’s still early days, but the flywheel is spinning, we’ve backed 200+ founding teams, and we’re now investing out of a fresh $125 million Village Global Fund II.

Michelle Zatlyn joined Village Global co-founder and partner Ben Casnocha for a masterclass with our founders in late 2020.

We recently pulled together 100+ angels…like Reid Hoffman, Chamath Palihapitiya, Elad Gil, Kevin Hartz, Athena Karp, & Nick Caldwell to talk trends and tips in backing entrepreneurs at the earliest stages.
