Free

Counter Club is a free community to join. Due to the nature of the content, only active investors at a corporate venture capital fund are admitted. We open up many of the landmines that CVCs tend to navigate and provide clarity through the leadership of others and our decades of experience in CVC. We act as an intermediary between CVCs and a gatekeeper of information to encourage best practices. Our events will continue to remain free as we believe it is important to provide access to all CVCs around the world.

Events & CVC Report

The Counter Club congregates at our annual Counter conference, held in San Francisco. We also host a number of small, curated events throughout the year, both online and in-person. All events are designed to offer educational, best practices on how to successful launch or run a CVC fund. Events are only accessible to members of the Counter Club. Visit http://counterclub.vc to sign up.

Each year, in collaboration with SVB, we co-author the global State of CVC Report. Download a copy of the 2024 report here.
