Solo GP Summit
The Solo GP Summit is a gathering for solo GPs and the LPs who back them. It started as a WhatsApp group of solo GPs trading the things you can't ask on a thirty-minute intro call: what a first close actually cost, whether the LP who said "keep me posted" meant it. It became a monthly gathering. This October, we’re opening it up.
Two days in San Francisco, timed to lead directly into Raise Week.
The team has been working hard to make these two days worth your time. You'll learn things that aren't written down anywhere, but the real value is the people. Some of the GPs and LPs in this room will be on your journey for the next 10, 20, 30 years.
ONE THING WE'D ASK OF YOU
RAISE week is crowded. There will be a dozen places you could be at any given moment.
If you can, quiet the optimizer voice. The one that wants to be in three rooms at once. Stay in one place. Break bread with people. Ask what's actually top of mind for them, not just what they're investing in. Ask about their family.
This is designed to be formative and transformational rather than transactional. That only works if you let it be.
HOW THIS ROOM WORKS
The Solo GP Community started as a WhatsApp group of people tired of doing this alone. Four words describe how we show up:
Authentic. A safe place to say "this is hard." No performing.
Uplifting. Leave people more confident in their path than you found them.
Encouraging. Fundraising is long. Cheer each other on.
Collaborative. Look for ways to help before you look for ways to ask.
A few practical ways to bring that into the room:
Go deep, not wide. Three real conversations beat thirty business cards.
Share what's hard, not only what's working.
Give before you ask. An intro, a lesson, an honest read on a deck.
Make room for fun. The best conversations happen away from the stage.
One promise from us: the attendee list is never shared with or sold to sponsors. Bring your best LPs with confidence.

Please invite an LP.
