  • 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.

    Read the backstory

    Already 100+ Strong

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