We’re heading to La Jolla for the 2025 AlphaCore Wealth Advisory Summit!
In one week, our team will be on the ground at the AlphaCore Wealth Summit, one of the industry’s most forward-looking gatherings for wealth managers, allocators, and innovators. This year’s theme — Back to the Future — sets the stage for a conversation about how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping wealth creation and capital deployment. If you’ll be there, we’d love to connect in person.

Collin West to deliver Keynote on the Future of AI in VC
We’re proud to share that Collin West, Managing Partner at Ensemble VC, has been selected as a keynote speaker at this year’s event. Collin will speak in front of hundreds of attendees about the future of AI — not only as one of the most important investment themes of the next decade but also as an operational necessity for venture firms themselves. As AI rewrites how data is gathered, synthesized, and acted on, venture’s traditional edge is shifting from intuition alone to software-enabled decision-making.
A Conversation That Matters for LPs and Founders Alike
Collin’s keynote will explore how firms that adopt AI natively — embedding it into sourcing, diligence, and portfolio support — are poised to outperform in a world where data advantage compounds. He’ll share how Ensemble has built AI-first infrastructure to unlock founder opportunity sets and build conviction faster, while giving LPs a more rigorous, forward-looking picture of risk and return. For allocators and wealth advisors, it’s a timely lens on the future of capital formation.
Join Us in La Jolla
If you’re planning to attend the Summit, let’s meet up. The event is October 9th in La Jolla, CA. You can learn more and register here. We’re excited to see friends and collaborators and to meet new partners who want to explore what an AI-native approach to venture can unlock.

Dear VC Partner: Your Firm is Falling Critically Behind. And It's Probably Because of You
In this article, Dr. Gopinath Sundaramurthy argues that while venture capital firms are aggressively funding AI platforms, most have failed to adopt AI meaningfully within their own organizations. Drawing on Ensemble VC’s decade of experience building an AI-native investment platform, the paper explains why superficial AI usage—tools, pilots, and isolated workflows—does not translate into durable competitive advantage.
