Ra's Circle · Private Investor, LP & Family Office Gathering · DC · Edition III: https://luma.com/p478x8fw
Ra's Circle is a private gathering for people who believe the best conversations happen in small rooms. Each edition brings together a carefully curated mix — investors, LPs, family offices, and the founders worth knowing. Never too many of any one kind. Always a balance that makes the room more interesting than the sum of its parts. A rotating circle, never the same room twice, coming together around one question worth going deep on. Real connections. Honest exchange. The kind of conversation that stays with you. At its core, Ra's Circle is built on an old Silicon Valley instinct that's gotten rare: people who give before they ask.
This edition's conversation
The Next Industrial Base Won't Be Built by Nations. It'll Be Funded by the Room.
For seventy years, the arsenal of democracy was a government line item. Now it's a cap table. The GPs, LPs, and family offices writing checks into propulsion, materials, and defense-adjacent hardware this year are underwriting a shift most of Wall Street hasn't priced in yet — and Washington, mid Deep Tech Week, is the one week a year this entire capital stack sits in the same city at once. We're pulling a small table together to talk about what that actually means for capital allocation over the next decade — who's positioned to win, what the next fund cycle looks like, and which bets look obvious in hindsight but aren't being made yet.
