Rethinking the Tech Funding Model

June 17, 2025 | 12 p.m. ET

Venture capital is undergoing a major shift. 

Series A isn’t what it used to be. Unicorn-or-bust mentalities are fading. Exits aren’t just IPOs anymore…and that's a good thing.

In this first edition of York IE's State of the Industry virtual series, we’ll bring together pre-seed, early-stage, and growth-stage investors to explore how the funding landscape is shifting for B2B tech companies, and what that means for returns, deal structure, GTM execution and more.

Whether you're building a company, backing one, or looking to understand where the next wave of liquidity will come from, this conversation will unpack:

  • How capital markets are evolving across early and growth stages
  • What LPs are prioritizing in today’s return environment
  • Where B2B exits are happening, and what alternative outcomes look like
  • What the next generation of winners will have in common

Register now to have a front-row seat to how capital is being deployed, where returns are coming from, and what it takes to win in the next era of B2B tech.
