Most communities offer access without verification, who pays gets in.
Service providers dominate the room.
Content overwhelm instead of creating unique insights and clarity.
Experts promote themselves.

Core Values

The 7 Principles That Shape Our Community

We are active and officially verified investors in different stages in the equity investment cycle.
Our goal is to help members’ portfolios thrive by building strong global relationships and a network that enables early scouting of follow-on investments and opportunities – ideally from within our Insider Circle.
Our service is community and networking, with no interest in taking a cut from transactions. We focus on connecting the right investors to collaborate and create synergies.
We value discretion and never use members as public advertising. Anyone attempting to do so will be identified and blocked. Our focus is on growing portfolios, not seeking publicity or exploiting members’ reputations.
No mass communication. Our networking and onboarding ensure we connect you directly with the right contacts in our network, led personally by our leadership. It’s about quality conversations, valuable content, and meaningful deals, with mindful communication inside the circle.
We share information openly within the Insider Circle, providing as complete a picture as possible without breaching NDAs, while also protecting members from unsuitable deals or partnerships.
We value our community and believe life is better when shared with interesting, supportive people in a relaxed atmosphere.
