The VC Open: The battle for venture's real bragging rights

Monday, September 29, 2025

We are delighted to announce DLA Piper’s second annual VC Open, our signature golf tournament for the venture community, on September 29 at The Tuxedo Club, in New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley. This event will bring together the industry’s top dealmakers for a day of networking, fun – and, yes, on course rivalries!

The VC Open is our exclusive, competitive golf tournament featuring leading US venture capital funds. Two-person teams compete in a Best-Ball Tournament. The winning team will earn the DLA Piper Cup – and all associated bragging rights – for one year.

At DLA Piper, venture is in our DNA. From our Silicon Valley roots to venture teams in over 16 US cities and 15 countries, we have become one of the leaders in global venture, and we are excited to help foster a venture community that has been such an integral part of our success.
