The Venture Exchange Party 2025
Venture Banking
What a night at the NYSE!
The Stifel Venture Exchange Holiday Party brought together 500 founders, VCs, operators, and partners on the iconic trading floor. It was an incredible way to close the year and open the next chapter for our venture community.
Huge thanks to our co-hosts who helped make the evening special: PwC, Cooley, and Standish Management, alongside the NYSE team. Thank you to leadership for the opening remarks and for spotlighting the energy and resilience across the venture ecosystem.
Why nights like this matter:
- They’re about community: reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, and building bridges across funds, founders, and platforms.
- They’re about inclusion: celebrating the builders shaping tech across every domain, especially the women driving innovation in our space.
- They’re about momentum: sharing predictions for 2026, swapping lessons learned, and setting a confident tone for the year ahead.
To everyone who came out, shared your perspective, and supported the community, thank you on behalf of Stifel Venture Banking Team and East Coast Team. Let’s carry this energy into 2026!
