Building an outlier portfolio on power law dynamics
Online Lunch & Learn · May 5 · 12:30 – 1:30 PM
BUILDING AN OUTLIER PORTFOLIO ON POWER LAW DYNAMICS
w/ Juliane Hahn and Julia Dous
AI hype. Deep Tech Decade. SaaS apocalypse. The startup landscape is shifting faster than ever, and power laws dictate that a disproportionate share of value concentrates in just a handful of companies. So how do you build a portfolio that captures outliers without betting the house?
WE'LL COVER
· What does the data actually say about power law in VC?
· How to consider power law dynamics in your personal portfolio construction
· How the VC landscape is shifting and what that means for you
· How the best VC managers adapt and how to spot them
· Where Fund of Funds add (and create) value and where they don't
Expect an open, interactive discussion and please come with questions.
THIS IS PART OF A TWO-PART SERIES
This session is Part 1 of a two-part series:
Part 1 · May 5 (Online): Understanding power law dynamics & fund-of-funds strategy
Part 2 · June 11 (Berlin, in person): A small, invitation-only brunch to explore FoF co-investment opportunity
We’ll share more during the session and invite those interested to join the waitlist.
YOUR HOSTS
Juliane Hahn · Signature Ventures Founding Partner with a track record in decentralized tech, blockchain and deep tech investing; strongly believes the VC game is due for an update.
Julia Dous · the Evangelistas Co-founder, angel investor, talent advisor, and community builder. Named one of Europe's most relevant women in tech by Sifted.
WHY THIS SESSION
We don't usually open these conversations publicly. This is one of the few sessions we share beyond our Evangelistas Collective membership - a women investors community deepening expertise across three programs in 2026: Diversified Wealth · Super Angel · Signature Influence.
It's meant as a reference point for how we think about investing, and an opportunity to co-invest. Our aim? Making visible what's often kept behind closed doors: how experienced investors approach investing.
If this resonates, you're welcome to join, and share it with someone who should be in the room.
