• The Ganas Global Tour

    11 countries. 1 mission: build the future of VC with community at the center.

    In 2025, we traveled around the world to meet people in person and learn from the builders who are shaping the future.

    And while the tour has ended our work continues. You can check out what we learned in the ecosystem reports for each country here or read the Ganas Global Tour Field Report here. There, you’ll find notes on capital, talent, and community from startup hubs in different regions.

    These insights are guiding our next steps: a community-first, globally supported way of investing, driven by ganas, which means the grit, heart, and follow-through needed to build successfully.

    100+ Strong

    This is what community-driven VC looks like: Local roots. Global ambition. Fierce follow-through.
