Principled Business Summit in New York

​Capitalism works—but only when we defend its principles.

​For too long, capitalism has been under attack. Many business leaders have gone quiet, failing to defend the very system that drives prosperity, innovation, and individual freedom. It’s time for that to change.

​That’s why we're hosting the Principled Business Summit, October 15–17, 2025, in New York City. We’re bringing together 500 investors, founders, and executives committed to funding, scaling, and leading businesses that stand for freedom, personal responsibility, and real value creation.
