AYU Private Dining events are regular occasions where 15 members and guests from the alternatives industry gather in the private dining room of a top London eatery for networking and connection, often around a specific theme.

This event is part of a series of events we are hosting with Jesse Coors-Blankenship, of the Coors family office, where he will be talking about his fund, Parkway Venture Capital.

Parkway Venture Capital was founded by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs.They believe that artificial intelligence, ubiquitous data, 3D simulation and complex engineering will change the world in ways that most cannot yet grasp. These industry-agnostic technologies will permeate diverse sectors and vast markets. By partnering with the visionary entrepreneurs who are leading this transformation, they help their portfolio companies fundamentally disrupt existing industries, open up new market segments and provide superior investment returns for ourselves and our investment partners.

As successful entrepreneurs, managing general partners Jesse Coor-Blankenship and Gregg Hill’s technological and operating experience makes Parkway a force multiplier for the businesses in which it invests.

To date, Parkway’s investments have already returned over 9.5x invested capital. Jesse and Gregg are joined by partners Rob Bibow, Nekeshia Woods and COO Brian Hoyt, who together bring significant financial, strategic and operational credentials to the Parkway team.

Parkway was founded by Jesse and Gregg, who have been friends and business partners for 20 years, as a venture capital investment vehicle for them and their families. Parkway was established in 2019, following the successful (20x) exit of their latest venture, Frustum Inc. which was sold to PTC Inc. in 2018.

All members of the Parkway team are also fund investors and, along with the Coors and the Hill families, constitute a very significant proportion of Parkway’s committed capital. Due to the success of Fund I and Fund II, which was oversubscribed, Parkway is opening up Fund III to outside investors, to continue to focus on this same proven investment strategy.

This event is open to family offices only.
