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 and join 850+ subscribers getting investor insights, ecosystem shifts, and field notes from global startup hubs.

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