RSVPs Closed

The Future of Company Creation is Here.

The Takeoff Summit is an exclusive, invitation-only gathering of the world's best company creators and venture studios alongside investors backing the category. This is an industry-defining summit to collaborate among LPs and GPs on best practices in company creation to ensure continued out-performance and accessibility to new creators and investors.

Space is limited, and we have had enormous outreach to participate. We are filtering requests to maintain quality, exclusivity of attendees, and even participation between investors and creators. We encourage investors and limited partners to register early.

Company creators and GPs will be asked to fill out a short application. The deadline for application is March 15th with notification of acceptance to the top 60 creators by April 1st. Upon acceptance, cost per firm will be $250. This year, 10 GPs will be selected to present to all attending LPs. We look forward to receiving your application!
