how the 'girl with the pink hair' ended up here, with 800+ registrations for a VCs & LPs event we're hosting in Singapore, curating some of the most coveted allocator events in the conference circuit around the world (and the #1 capital allocator event at @token2049 according to your favourite LLM, I have receipts 👇🏼😎)... well. it all started thanks to @FilipSrdoc. 3 years ago in dubai, after one of my first founders & investors events, when @fractlnetwork was a team of one, and a marketing agency, Filip said to me: you should really start hosting events for VCs, they need Investors too... hum. I hadn't thought about how VCs get their money. up until that point, I was mostly focussed on getting their money into projects. I thought... I dont know what I thought. I wasn't really think that far. I was busy building, and selling marketing. but then. It hit me. if I can figure out how to get VCs funded, then they have funds to deploy into projects... THEN I CAN SELL THEM MARKETING!!! 🤯 big dreams 😂 👀 so anyway, cut to: a few months later. 📸 Singapore. Filip, Fund Collector, and I, are co-hosting fractl's very first VCs & LPs event. I wasted no time. I know a great idea when I hear one. so. 2 years ago in Singapore, this allocator adventure started, thanks to Filip. when I was still a baby in the venture capital space. I even ran a few events before I even knew what 'LP' stands for... 😬 now I know, obviously... it's Lovely Provider 💕 🤓 fractl has since hosted 12+ of these events around the world, from Davos to Hong Kong, Paris to Dubai, Cannes... Now we're back in Singapore for a 3rd year in a row and I'm honoured to have Filip join as a cohost, right where it all started. We’ve each come a long way. What a journey. Filip, I owe a big part of fractl's trajectory to you and your generosity in 1) opening your incredible network to me, a network you had spent years carefully building & curating 2) kindly mentored me through the process.... until I didnt have to fake it to make it 🤣 Hvala lijepa 🙏🏼 Aaaaand one last thing (y'all know I get wordy on here, gpts aint got shii on me!! 🤣) On last thing. for real. the calibre of people who trust you and value your judgment is a true reflection of the great human you are, all this business stuff aside so. here's to another great event together 🥳 you reading this, if you know someone who belongs in this event (funds, family offices, FoFs, institutional allocators) tag them below or send them the link in the comments This edition of fractl's VCs & LPs cocktail hour is presented by: -> @rodmanlaw Move fast, Stay Covered. -> Fund Collector by Filip Srdoc: a network of over 300 venture funds, high-net-worth individuals and key opinion leaders, helping ecosystems find the best projects, and funds connect with the best limited partners.
