Why ERIA Marina
Why it works for investor & vc events
Investor events have to look polished without looking corporate. ERIA Marina hosts demo days, LP dinners and founder mixers in a room that feels like a private club, with the AV to run pitches and a service team that keeps things discreet.
- Theater seating for pitch sessions and demo days
- Private dinners at one long table or rounds for LP and partner gatherings
- A setting that suits founders and limited partners alike
