Valin Summit

Valin Summit is an invite-only gathering of 50 top founders turned investors, spanning super angels, emerging managers, and storied, established firms. The event will include 50 leading institutional LPs, including some of the most sophisticated family offices, endowments, hospitals, and institutional allocators who increasingly value founder DNA when backing new teams across asset classes. Valin is Old Norse for battle-tested and chosen. In the Norse tradition, to be valinn was to be selected through trial, not through credentials or connections. That is the ethos of the summit, and we built it to honor the founders now dominating the next generation of elite investing. Hosted at The Wende Museum in Los Angeles, Valin is a single day, off the record, built around breakout sessions on finding the next generation of outliers, building the firms most likely to catch them, and forming the permanent capital partnerships that carry a firm across its full life. Expect breakouts and roundtables, hot seats over case studies, and a community built to last the generation of your firm. Conversations run across founder-led capital, AI and market formation, what LPs actually want, and the scars that shape a real thesis.
