West Coast Conferences June 15-18, 2025: SF Bay Area (incl. Berkeley, Stanford) & Seattle Area (incl. Redmond, Bellevue)

361Firm hosts its 5th West Coast Tour Conferences on June 15-18, 2025, in San Francisco, Berkeley and Stanford on June 15-16 and Redwood and Seattle on June 17-18 focused on AI, Dual Use, Space, Semiconductors, Quantum, VR, Gaming, as well as Philanthropy and NextGens.

We start Sunday evening June 15 at a private reception with female founders, June 16 at Berkeley, Stanford, Sand Hill Road, June 17 Redwood Microsoft & Bellevue tours, and June 18 in Seattle at Amazon, Rainier Club. See Agenda and selected RSVPs.

We will have two pre-event Coordination Calls for the West Coast Tour on Tuesday, May 13 at 10:30am ET and Wednesday, May 14 at 12pm ET (9am PT).

You can register now as either (1) a QP LP Allocator by taking 60 seconds to submit our “Step 1 Diagnostic” or (2) a Delegate by clicking here.

It's currently $1150 for SF/Palo Alto June 15-16 and another $350 to add Redwood-Bellevue-Seattle. We give everyone an incentive to register early so we can plan better. As such, the fee goes up each Tuesday by $200, and by $300 on June 3 and 10 for each of SF/PA and Seattle. We also like the camaraderie of having people in both cities, so we give an additional discount for registering for both SF and Seattle. See table below.
