Sustainability at Summit

We are very proud to share that, in partnership with our Sustainability portfolio company, rePurpose Global, we will be removing 100 nature-bound plastic bags on behalf of each attendee of our Silicon Valley Summit.

By attending our event, you enabled plastic action with rePurpose's impact project in Bogota, Colombia that keeps plastic waste out of nature and landfills by catalyzing the collection and recovery of low-value plastic waste while empowering 3,000 informal recyclers.
