Venturing into
The Unknown(s)
Where visionaries and capital meet to shape the future.
In a world where uncertainty is the new normal, The Unknowns event series creates a space to align perspectives, surface emerging strategies, and identify new ways to lead. It’s a forum where capital, ideas, and leadership converge to shape what’s next for markets, industries, and society.
The Conversation
Navigating the Frontier
The venture ecosystem—founders, VCs, and LPs—each plays a distinct role in turning uncertainty into opportunity. But when possibilities are boundless and outcomes constantly evolving, how do we chart a path that maximizes potential?
Risk and Reward
Not every risk- or reward—can be anticipated or safeguarded against, from geopolitical tensions and regulatory gaps to product liability and deepfakes. Is it time to move beyond all-or-nothing thinking toward a more adaptive approach? What can be mitigated, what must we embrace, and how can uncertainty become a strategic edge?
Global by Design
Innovation doesn’t stop at borders—and neither should capital. As supply chains shift, markets evolve, and new hubs emerge, where are the durable global plays? Who’s building with scale, staying power, and a view beyond the next cycle?
The Road Ahead
Where is capital flowing as technology breaks from traditional innovation cycles? What markets, models, and breakthroughs are quietly reshaping the next investment era—and who’s already betting on them?
We’ll operate under Chatham House Rules to encourage candid, solution-oriented discussions.
