The Ganas Global Tour
11 countries. 1 mission: build the future of VC with community at the center.
This isn’t a press tour. It’s a global listening sprint - showing up in person to learn from the builders shaping what’s next across the world. We’re here to connect, trade notes, and set the groundwork for Fund II - a community-first, globally backed, and powered by ganas - the grit, heart, and follow-through it takes to build something that matters.
Already 100+ Strong
This is what community-driven VC looks like: Local roots. Global ambition. Fierce follow-through.
🙌🏽 Special thanks to local co-hosts and guide contributors: Guillermo Vizcaino · Meetash Narayan · Curtis Bergh · Anna Wong · Jens Wernborg · Mo Salah · Colin Donohue · Iftikhar Hussain · Ahmad Junaid · James Jones · Sameer Sortur · Lalitha Wemel · Rahul Mathur · Paolo Limcaoco · Shumate Royo · Farah Fauzi · and so many more.
