StrictlyVC returns to New York City September 10 to celebrate a huge year for the city’s startup community

StrictlyVC is returning to New York City for a networking event focused on the startup and venture capital ecosystem. The event highlights the city's accelerating investment landscape, which saw $16 billion in funding during the first half of 2026.
Why it matters
The data indicates a robust recovery and growth in the NYC startup scene, serving as a bellwether for the broader venture capital market.
For the first time since 2024, StrictlyVC is coming back to New York City — and we’re bringing the kind of access you’d expect from an under-wraps event to the whole startup, VC, and dealmaking community.
For years, StrictlyVC has run a series of some of the most interesting nights that a VC, founder, or dealmaker can spend, built around candid conversation you can’t get anywhere else.
Our newly announced NYC event takes place September 10 at Ideal Glass Studios in the West Village, with general admission tickets open now at $180. You can register here .
