Capital needs a better argument.
LPs, GPs and operators debate the future of venture and private capital. One motion. Two votes. The side that changes the most minds wins.
Our promise to the room
01Arguments, not pitches.
02Both sides get the stage.
03The audience decides.
The format
Not a panel.
A test of conviction.
The future of capital deserves more than consensus. We give opposing views a clear motion, a live audience and a result that measures persuasion.
The shift is the score.
Winning means moving votes—not simply starting with the larger crowd.
- 01
Take a position
One motion sets the question. Before the debate begins, the room votes to establish where it stands.
- 02
Hear the case
LPs, GPs and operators argue opposing sides, bringing the perspective of those allocating, managing and building with capital.
- 03
Change your mind
The room votes again. The side that moves the most votes wins—making persuasion, rather than popularity, the measure.
