Expert Dojo presents Emerging VC conference — Fund of Funds (Bengaluru)
Bangalore — the beating heart of India’s startup ecosystem — is the ideal setting for a practical, grounded conference designed for those looking to launch their own VC fund.
Expert Dojo is hosting this event in collaboration with Bhive Workspace as event partner and BajajVC as strategic partners. This event is part of Expert Dojo’s Fund of Funds Initiative, designed for individuals and institutions looking to step into venture capital with purpose — whether as corporates building their first VC arm, academic institutions launching their investment, emerging fund managers, or angel investors transitioning into fund management.
With 300+ global investments, Expert Dojo has built a venture platform powered by scale, pattern recognition, and deep cross-border experience. GPs Ashutosh Kumar and Brian McMahon (also Director at Nathan Family Office with over $1B AUM) will share how these capabilities translate into real fund-building frameworks for India.
This is not a theoretical discussion.
It’s about judgment, structure, and real-world capital deployment — for those serious about launching and managing venture funds with Expert Dojo as a long-term partner.
