Thirteen years in and roughly $200M of raises facilitated, WVS is a fundraising summit rather than a networking event: founder-investor speed meetings, a live pitch competition, a walk-through of what real due diligence looks like, and 40+ working sessions on financial strategy and capital access. Held at Cooley's Science Center Drive offices in Torrey Pines and timed to overlap San Diego Startup Week, with a joint SDSW x WVS roundtable afternoon. Go if you are a woman founder actively raising and want investors in the room, not on a panel.
