Who Gets to Own the Future? OCC & Marvelous at CODE University
For decades, venture capital and private equity have been the domain of the few —closed networks, concentrated capital, limited access.
That model is being challenged.
Technology, evolving regulation, and the collective power of communities are opening the gates. Access is expanding. Transparency is increasing. A new and more diverse generation of investors is stepping forward.
It is about participation.
It is about opportunity.
It is about shaping the future.
Because when you invest, you cast a vote.
How democratic, digital, and decentralized will the world of investments become?
What will it take to truly unlock access for underrepresented groups and individuals with little or no prior exposure to private market investing?
Who will lead the shift from exclusivity to inclusion?
Join us for a compact, high-energy session exploring the movements, innovations, and real-world actions reshaping private equity and alternative investments — at a time when politics, technology, and society must move together to build a freer, more democratic financial ecosystem.
