The women of Fairview participated in Women Build 2024 with Habitat for Humanity North Central Connecticut! Despite the rain, our team had so much fun getting out of the office, into the community, and contributing to a major build in Hartford County, that will provide 10 families with homeownership. #Fairviewinthecommunity #WomenBuild #BuildingHope   Over the course of one month, Women Build volunteers along with Habitat crew leaders framed three two-story homes up to the roof. 90% of the labor on Habitat homes is completed by volunteers like us!

With AI rapidly changing the business of venture capital, Fairview Managing Partner Aakar Vachhani was invited to participate in a fireside chat at the V5 Summit with John Gannon. The V5 Summit was a gathering designed for venture capital firms seeking to revolutionize their funds and operations through the use of AI. Aakar spoke about the trends Fairview is tracking and what Fairview looks for in venture firms that use AI in their processes. The conversation also touched on how the future of funds of funds and limited partners will change with advances in AI applications and agents. At Fairview we believe that big changes are coming, and that investors must be well prepared to navigate this new, increasingly complex landscape. Stay tuned, we’ll be sharing more on this topic throughout the year.
