Global Capital Strategies: Opportunities for US VC Funds in Europe & the Middle East
International LPs are reshaping venture capital.
Europe and the Middle East now host some of the world’s most sophisticated limited partners- family offices, sovereign funds, and institutional investors eager to back U.S. innovation. Yet many national GPs have never explored these pools of capital.
Join fellow partners and emerging managers for a focused breakfast roundtable on expanding your LP base beyond U.S. borders. We’ll dive into the realities of fundraising in Europe and the Middle East, including market trends, fund structures, and regulatory nuances that can make or break an international raise.
Together, we’ll explore:
How European LPs evaluate U.S. venture funds and what drives their allocation decisions
Practical fundraising strategies: pre-marketing, vehicles, and cross-border compliance
Middle East momentum from capital pools to local licensing requirements
Cultural and operational pitfalls to avoid when entering new markets
This peer-driven conversation features insights from Trident Trust’s Ismail Ekmekci (Head of U.S. Private Equity Solutions) and Karine Seguin (Head of Business Development – Fund Services, Europe), who bring on-the-ground expertise from Europe and the Gulf region.
