Our Virtual Mastermind series has been picking up with some amazing guests. Join us 10/16 to learn from Tracy A. McWilliams!

Venture studios are rising in popularity, and we want to know why. To answer this, SVRN is hosting a Virtual Mastermind with David Kumaran and Kasey K., the dynamic sibling team behind Future Stack and Ascend Capital, where they take fractional co-founder roles with their portfolio companies. Some of the topics we will explore are: - origins of the venture studio model, how it differs from traditional VC, and unique advantages/challenges - how to ensure mission stays a central focus and how to convince investors that profit and purpose go hand in hand - balancing roles as operators and capital partners - advice for early-stage founders and investors in the new venture landscape As SVRN is so focused on fostering an ecosystem of collaboration and venture building, we're excited to see what we can learn! Join us Wednesday 10/9 at 1pm PT for a live Google Meet session with David and Kasey: https://lnkd.in/e6_BuSfF

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be considered "investable?" On 7/25, we hosted a SVRN Symposium on “How to Be Investable” with guest speaker Stan Sung, founder and Managing Director of GENRICH Family Office. He shared ideas around: ⁃ Different types of company cultures: traditional vs laid-back ⁃ Understanding and aligning communication styles ⁃ Importance of tapping into the investor perspective and priorities ⁃ Focusing on the generational wealth transfer among family offices Trust and integrity in communication are a key part of SVRN’s mission to establish authentic connections that drive more natural business collaborations. Throughout the event, we witnessed the culture of SVRN blossoming as we shared delicious food, ideas, and appreciation for the beautiful rooftop view among friends and family. Thank you Stan Sung for a truly insightful discussion, and the SVRN community for always bringing your genuine presence.

Little did I know how relevant my Communications degree from college would be in business. Studying communication techniques and strategies has been a passion of mine that I’ve been able to test and refine over thousands of client, team and community meetings over the last 30+ years. Quite simply, communication is about connection, and connection is what leads to trust. I look forward to sharing some of these lessons learned and crowdsourcing other effective communication techniques at this SVRN virtual event next week. Feel free to join us.

How do you create connections that leads to business getting done? Spoiler alert: It's not what most people think, but if you're intentional and systematic you can create connections AND business. It's the best of both worlds. That's what I'll be talking about next Wednesday the 14th in collaboration with SVRN. SVRN is a next gen curated community for investors, founders and family offices.
