This exclusive VIP Reception is an intimate, small-group gathering that brings together an elite cohort of Silicon Valley venture capitalists, corporate pioneers, and business leaders. Attendees will engage in high-impact conversations with leadership of the Taiwanese government agencies in science and technology, as well as breakthrough Taiwanese founders emerging from Stanford and Berkeley SkyDeck as they launch and scale across the U.S. market.

The reception centers on a live culinary experience featuring premium Taiwanese caviar, paired with wines from Saison Winery and refreshments. Often called “Taiwanese caviar,” wuyuzi is prized mullet roe carefully salted, pressed, and sun-dried for a rich umami flavor and delicate chew. Known as “mullet gold,” it is a treasured delicacy traditionally served at celebrations and given as a prestigious Lunar New Year gift.

At 6 PM, VIP guests will transition directly into the main event: Taiwan Venture Day. Produced by Sparknify, this sleek, fast-paced deep-tech showcase brings unmistakable Silicon Valley energy to the stage, spotlighting those Taiwanese founders showcasing innovations in AI, healthcare, robotics, deep tech, semiconductors, and sustainability.

Note: For our VIP guests, your invitation covers the entire evening; no separate registration is required for the main event.

As part of the Taiwanese Caviar tasting experience during the VIP Reception, we’re proud to be serving two wines made by Saison Winery: the 2018 Partage Rosé of Syrah, with bright summer fruit and a crisp, refreshing body, and the 2017 Saison Grenache, with vibrant notes of cranberry, orange rind, and raspberry. Saison Winery is an exceptional small-lot producer celebrated for crafting single-vineyard wines that beautifully express their terroir. Guests may also have the opportunity to taste Kaichi Malt Whisky. Together, these wines and whisky may be the perfect pairing for Taiwan’s prized caviar.
