StrictlyVC San Francisco 2026 set for April 30 with $200 tickets

In short: StrictlyVC will hold its first San Francisco event of 2026 on April 30, with limited space and $200 tickets.

What happened

StrictlyVC San Francisco 2026 is an in-person venture capital event planned for April 30, 2026, in San Francisco, California. Tickets cost $200, and the organizers say capacity is limited.

The evening starts at 5:00 PM with check-in, drinks, and light food. The schedule then includes interviews from 6:00–6:20 PM and 6:20–6:40 PM, with details still to be announced. A talk slot is also listed for 7:00–7:20 PM, followed by more networking from 7:20–9:00 PM.

One confirmed speaker is Amjad Masad, co-founder and CEO of Replit. He is scheduled from 6:40–7:00 PM to speak about “Building the Platform Where AI Writes the Code.” In simple terms, this is about software that can help write computer code (like a writing assistant, but for programming).

TDK Ventures is hosting and is the title sponsor. It is described as a $500 million corporate venture capital firm, which means it invests company money into startups, often in areas like energy, computing, and robotics. Other announced speakers include Pat Gelsinger (Playground Global and former Intel CEO), Jay Graber (Bluesky Social), Max Hodak (Science), Nicholas Kelez (xLight), Daniel Lurie (mayor of San Francisco), and Tekedra Mawakana (Waymo).

Why it matters

For people building or funding new tech, smaller events with limited spots can lead to more direct conversations than a big conference, more like a focused dinner party than a packed stadium. For everyone else, the speaker list offers a snapshot of what investors and tech leaders are paying attention to in 2026, including tools that help people build software faster.
