Ertan Can is the founder and managing partner of Multiple Capital, a pan-European micro-VC fund-of-funds targeting seed-stage emerging managers.

Launched inside a family office in 2012 and spun out in 2018, Multiple mapped Europe's emerging manager ecosystem early, backing solo GPs across deep tech, AI, fintech, and defense. The fund has committed to 30+ micro-VCs with indirect exposure to 1,000+ startups, delivering top-decile performance with outliers like UiPath.

Multiple's edge combines rigorous manager selection at sub-institutional fund sizes with European valuation arbitrage and US-scale exit paths. Operating from Luxembourg for institutional readiness, the fund maintains disciplined €1M check sizes and targets managers with demonstrable unfair advantages and concentrated portfolio construction.

Alan Mattamana is the Managing Partner at Fairview Capital Partners, a $10B fund-of-funds founded in 1994 as one of the largest minority-owned investment firms in the US. After Princeton engineering, McKinsey, and Polaris Venture Partners, he joined Fairview in 2009 and ascended to Managing Partner in 2024, leading the firm's co-investment program.

Fairview commits to 15-25 managers per vehicle using equal-weighted portfolios (~60% venture, ~40% growth/buyout), staged across 3-5 year tranches for vintage diversification. The firm's proprietary database tracks 600+ diverse and emerging managers, combining quantitative benchmarking with exhaustive reference checks. Mattamana allocates 10-20% to late-stage co-investments (Series B+) through GP advisory board relationships, concentrating capital in de-risked winners at reduced fee drag.

As anchor LP for first- and second-time funds, Fairview backs 300+ funds representing 10,000+ companies. Strategic partnerships include New York Life's 2024 minority stake, Steve Ballmer's $400M commitment for Black fund managers, and the Ford/Visa Foundations Emerging Managers Fund. Connecticut's Constitution Fund series delivered 30% IRR in top vintages, with fees compressed from 0.8% to 0.65% as the program scaled.

Youngrok Kim is the Founding Partner of GREE LP Fund, a $170M bicultural fund-of-funds split between US and Japan vehicles, built on a contrarian timing thesis: Asia-Pacific's venture markets are at their 2010 moment, when cloud/mobile minted Andreessen Horowitz and Initialized Capital, and AI's platform shift will produce the next generation of iconic regional franchises.

Structured as separate mandates rather than commingled capital, GREE LP commits to 20+ managers per fund at the sub-$50M threshold where collaborative check sizes eliminate brand competition.

Portfolio spans established platforms (NFX, Future Ventures) and first-time GPs selected for strategy-fit over pedigree: former GitLab CMO doing DevTools seed, ex-Palantir operators with 150-person deal sourcing networks.

Nine of ten deployed funds exceed median TVPI despite <3-year vintages. The platform allocates 10-15% to late-stage co-investments and LP secondaries as liquidity architecture, targeting first distributions within five years to smooth cash flow curves before primary exits mature.

Ariana Thacker, is the founder and CEO of MoldCo—a company bringing real science, structure, and care to one of healthcare’s most overlooked crises: mold-related toxicity.

Ariana’s journey started in venture capital, leading Conscience VC with a focus on health, biotech, and consumer innovation.

But everything changed when a sudden toxicity derailed her life and exposed the massive gaps in how mainstream medicine treats environmental health.

What began as a personal search for answers evolved into MoldCo—a platform combining validated lab testing, clinician-led treatment, and the largest biobank in the field to redefine how mold toxicity is understood and treated.

We talked about Ariana’s shift from VC to founder, why mold was just the starting point for a broader vision around chronic microbial toxicity, and how MoldCo is building slow-moving science and fast-moving care under one roof.

Ariana also shared the genetic reasons some people get sick while others don’t, why traditional mold tests often fail, and the massive ripple effects she sees ahead across healthcare, real estate, and biotech.

Rob Biederman is the founder and MP of Asymmetric Capital Partners—a venture firm taking a contrarian approach to backing B2B technology companies, roll-ups, and under-the-radar market opportunities.

Asymmetric launched in 2020 with a $105M debut fund, built on Rob’s vision of avoiding venture hype and instead investing in companies with long-term durability, strong customer value, and scalable economics. They’ve already backed 29 companies, many of which are profitable or on track for significant exits, and they’re pioneering a roll-up strategy, consolidating cash-flowing businesses and transforming them through proprietary technology.

Before launching Asymmetric, Rob built a career spanning finance, private equity, and entrepreneurship. He started at Goldman Sachs, moved into private equity at Bain Capital, and then took the leap into founding Catalant Technologies, a company that started as a Harvard Business School project and scaled into a 120,000-member expert marketplace.

We talked about why most VCs misunderstand venture cycles, how Asymmetric is capitalizing on overlooked sectors, the shift toward AI-enabled industries, and what it takes to build a truly differentiated fund—plus, why Rob believes the next billion-dollar company will come from a “boring” sector most VCs are ignoring.

Jason Eichenholz is the founder and CEO of Relativity Networks, a company radically reimagining the physical infrastructure behind AI by enabling data to travel at the speed of light in air.

Jason's story begins with a laser beam in a high school physics lab. That spark launched a lifelong obsession with photonics, earning him a PhD in laser physics and eventually leading to Luminar.

He helped take the company from two people in a garage to a billion dollar plus public company powering next gen autonomous vehicles.

After stepping back from Luminar he thought he was done with startups until a Hollow Core Fiber prototype landed in his inbox. The physics checked out, the market was undeniable and the bottleneck was existential.

Latency is now a power problem. Relativity Networks was born.

Today, Jason is building a fiber network that literally moves light faster, shrinking digital distances between data centers and unlocking new possibilities for AI, climate tech, 5G and more.

We talked about building Luminar from scratch, leading through others, his work at Jonathan's landing, and how Relativity gives hyperscalers the freedom to put data centers where the power is, not where latency says they have to.
