AI in the Fund Finance Stack

Every vendor pitch deck promises AI will transform fund finance. But what’s actually working in production at venture firms today? And where is it falling short? 

Join NVCA, in partnership with Foresight AI, for a candid, CPE-eligible panel discussion featuring CFOs and operating leaders from NVCA member firms. This is a no-hype conversation about where AI is genuinely adding value in fund workflows, where it isn’t, and what data quality bar needs to be met before it earns a place in your stack. 

What we’ll cover: 

• Build vs. buy: What’s working for internal builds, where they’re falling short, and where buying makes sense (and for which use cases) 

• Where GenAI is net-negative today — and how CFOs are mitigating the risk of hallucinated outputs in a reporting context 

• Governance, audit trail, and explainability: What auditors and LPs are starting to ask 

• The manual work CFOs wish their teams would stop doing tomorrow 

• How to think about hiring: Whether AI changes the shape of the finance team and what skills matter more now 

Panelists (all NVCA member firm leaders): 

• Yasmin Zarabi, COO, Sierra Ventures 

• Robert Garber, Managing Partner, 7Wire Ventures 

• Anna Nitschke, CFO & COO, Activate Capital 

Moderated by: 

• Jason Miller, Founder & CEO, Foresight AI 

Why attend: 

• Hear directly from peer CFOs about what’s working in their funds — not vendor talking points 

• Walk away with a clearer framework for evaluating AI tools, governance practices, and team structure 

• Earn CPE credit while you’re at it
