Event Planning & Coordination · Venture Capital

Event planning & coordination for venture capital firms

VC firms run a constant calendar of high-stakes events: LP annual meetings, demo days, founder dinners, portfolio offsites, and industry panels, where execution reflects directly on the firm's brand. Managing venue sourcing, speaker logistics, and attendee communication alongside deal flow is not a sustainable split of attention. A Nacho EA handles the coordination layer so your investment team stays focused on what moves the fund forward.

Can a Virtual Assistant handle event planning & coordination for venture capital firms?

Yes. Nacho matches venture capital firms with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist who owns event planning & coordination week after week, not a one-off task. Set a Talent Budget starting at $1,000 a month, begin with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, and expect to be matched in about a week.

How it works

How delegated event planning & coordination works for venture capital firms

A Nacho Executive Assistant or Specialist takes ownership of your event logistics from initial scoping through post-event follow-up, working inside the tools your team already uses: Calendly, Notion, Airtable, or a shared Google Workspace. For a typical LP summit or portfolio founder meetup, your EA will source and vet venues, build and manage RSVPs, coordinate with caterers and AV vendors, draft run-of-show documents, and handle attendee communications end-to-end. They'll track speaker confirmations, manage travel arrangements for out-of-town guests, and flag any timeline risks before they become problems. Your role is to approve key decisions: venue, agenda structure, guest list, and show up ready to run the room. The operational layer between your vision and the event itself is covered.

Off your plate

What comes off your plate

The most common mistake VC teams make when first delegating event work is handing off a task mid-process, after the venue is already half-selected or the guest list is already in three different spreadsheets. Start your EA at the beginning of a planning cycle, even if it's a smaller internal event, and share your non-negotiables upfront: firm brand standards, preferred vendors, any LP sensitivities around communication. The cleaner the handoff context, the faster your EA can operate independently.

  1. LP Meeting & Annual Summit Coordination

    Manages venue selection, invitations, RSVP tracking, catering, AV setup, and printed materials for your Limited Partner annual meeting or quarterly update event.

  2. Demo Day & Portfolio Showcase Logistics

    Coordinates founder presentation slots, rehearsal schedules, attendee registration via Eventbrite or a custom form, and day-of run-of-show for portfolio demo days.

  3. Founder & Operator Dinner Planning

    Sources restaurant or private venue options, manages reservations and dietary restrictions, sends calendar invites, and handles any pre-event communication with attendees.

  4. Speaker & Guest Travel Coordination

    Books flights, hotels, and ground transportation for keynote speakers, LPs, or out-of-town founders attending firm-hosted events, and sends detailed travel itineraries.

  5. Post-Event Follow-Up & Documentation

    Sends thank-you notes or recap emails to attendees, collects feedback via Typeform or Google Forms, and documents vendor contacts and lessons learned for future events.

The model

What delegating to Nacho actually looks like

This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.

  1. Start with a Delegation Strategy Plan

    A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.

  2. Get matched in about a week

    We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.

  3. Set a monthly Talent Budget

    Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. For operations-led work, that senior seat is usually a Fractional COO. See pricing in detail.

  4. Three months, then month to month

    The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Can a Nacho EA handle confidential LP communications as part of event coordination?
Yes, your EA operates under a confidentiality agreement and is accustomed to working with sensitive investor information. For LP-facing communications, your team would typically review and approve messaging before it goes out, which is a standard checkpoint most firms prefer to keep in-house.
How does this work if our events are in different cities or involve multiple time zones?
Nacho EAs are US-based and experienced coordinating multi-location logistics remotely: sourcing venues in cities they're not physically in is standard practice using tools like Cvent, Peerspace, or direct vendor outreach. Time zone management for attendee communications and scheduling is handled as part of the coordination workflow.
We only have two or three major events per year. Is a monthly retainer still worth it?
It can be, especially if event planning is bundled with other executive support tasks like calendar management, research, or investor communications, your EA's hours aren't locked to a single service. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month, so if an LP meeting wraps early in the billing cycle, a portion of what you didn't spend can carry into the next month.
