Organised the way you already are

Chapters, units and groups, named your way. Here’s a typical example.

Chapters

Funds or syndicates

e.g. Fund I · Fund II · Angel syndicate

  • Each fund’s founders in their own space
  • The annual summit, or a pitch evening for the syndicate
  • Updates that reach the right founders

Units, inside a fund

Sectors or stages

e.g. SaaS · Consumer · Seed · Series A

  • Roundtables where everyone has the same problems
  • Founders find peers a stage ahead
  • Sector news without the noise

Groups, across the portfolio

Companies and role circles

e.g. Orbit Payments · CFO circle · Heads of growth

  • Each portfolio company gets a space for its team
  • CFOs, CTOs or growth leads meet peers across funds
  • Open to all, or by request: you choose
