# Seattle VCs on what 2025 holds

Given that a good chunk of the venture capital in our community comes from our neighbors to the north, I always like to keep tabs on what the VCs in Seattle are thinking. And obviously — if Portland founders are going to be chatting them up for checks — those founders should be paying attention, too. So what do Seattle VCs think about 2025…? [GeekWire asked some of them](https://www.geekwire.com/2025/investor-predictions-2025-seattle-vcs-sound-off-on-ai-remote-work-and-citys-tech-ecosystem/).
