Resilience Is the Edge Investors Are Missing

​Returns matter. Scale matters. But in today’s volatile world, the ventures that truly endure are those built to withstand storms. What if resilience is the new alpha — the hidden driver of long-term value that no one is talking about yet?

​This high-energy, hands-on session is designed to challenge how investors and capital allocators define success. Through live crisis simulations, rapid-fire decision rounds, and creative exercises, you’ll pressure-test your instincts, uncover blind spots, and explore what it takes to fund businesses that not only scale but thrive. You’ll leave with a fresh lens on resilience, and at least one practical shift in how you structure or deploy capital to support staying power alongside scale.
