Venture 53 Presents
An exclusive Invitation to
FIELD DAY in the
BIG PEACH
Field Day 2025 - The Big Peach Playbook is not your average Field Day. We’re heading back to Atlanta - but this time we’re focused exclusively on Venture 53 LPs X portfolio founders digging into what matters most. Capital, exits, and the AI wave crashing into supply chain.
This isn’t a conference. It’s an invite only playbook.
Come ready to listen, challenge, connect, and level up.
It’s the Big Peach done right!
For Founders
It’s the most productive, in-depth, single day in the field you can spend. Packed with venture capital companies and industry legends and visionary operators, this time together will inspire and change the way you think about your exit journey.
For FUNDERS
With only a handful of Supply Tech Focused VC’s at all stages of funding attending, these firms will only meet and showcase their own established early stage supply chain tech companies. These companies hold the most promise to improve American productivity. Network for better deal flow and funding for your own portfolio companies.
four power sessions. one powerful day.
