Finding Gold in Spinouts Lunch

​Citizens Private Bank, Carta, and the Sarah Smith Fund invite you to an intimate GP/LP lunch in San Francisco, bringing together investors and managers navigating the jump from established VC platforms to independent firms.

​Over good food and great company, we’ll swap stories and insights on spinouts—fundraising, LP diligence, governance and carry structures, and the relationship dynamics that come with breaking away and building something new. No slides, no scripts—just an open, candid conversation with peers who’ve been there (or are thinking about it).

​Designed for investors and fund operators who value thoughtful connections as much as sharp perspectives, this lunch is meant to spark honest dialogue and new relationships. Come ready to meet fellow LPs and GPs, compare notes, and leave with a few new contacts—and a few new ideas. Location to be announced.
