Emerging Manager Mastermind Meetup
Join us for an intimate gathering of emerging managers and LPs during SuperVenture & SuperReturn International.
This session is designed for VC fund managers navigating the realities of building a firm today. From fundraising and LP relationships to differentiation, sourcing, conviction, and surviving the emotional rollercoaster of being an emerging manager.
We’ll host a candid live Q&A with members of the first Mastermind cohort:
Ines Bergmann-Nolting - Managing Partner at Greencode Ventures
Borja Gumuzio Morenes - Partner at Resilient Infratech Fund (RIF)
Anieke Lamers - Founder of The VC Coach and Operating Partner at Borski Fund
Liliana Negrila - Senior Advisor at Pitch Me First - formerly at EIF
Rather than polished panels or generic advice, this will be a practical and honest conversation around:
What emerging managers are really struggling with today What support they actually need How to build momentum before institutional validation The power of peer networks and shared experience Lessons from managers already in the arena Expect an informal format, meaningful connections, and space for open discussion with fellow GPs and allocators.
This gathering is hosted by The VC Coach and PitchMeFirst who jointly created the Mastermind for emerging managers: mastermind.thevccoach.com which will kick off its next cohort in September.
Who should attend? Emerging and first-time fund managers Solo GPs Aspiring managers preparing to raise LPs interested in the next generation of venture firms Operators transitioning into investing
Location: will become visible after acceptance but it’s near the main conference area (Plaza).
There will be coffee. Lunch is not included, but there is a cafe if you need to grab something.
Attendees will have the opportunity for a short 1 min pitch in front of the group.
