Event description
Outlier One - The GP & Founders Stream, where the next outliers are built
Co-hosted by Allocator One and EWOR
An invitation-only day for the founders and managers who will define the coming cycle - convened with EWOR, the fellowship for the most exceptional founders on earth.
The day before the Global Alpha Summit, Allocator One and EWOR convene a rare room: 50 GPs, from rising stars to established funds, 50 Founders, from rising stars to decacorn founders, together for a single day. It is the prelude to the main stage, and the most concentrated room of founder and manager talent we assemble all year.
The day is built for substance, not theatre: working sessions on building companies and building funds, candid feedback from operators who’ve done both, and the introductions that actually move things forward — founder to GP, GP to allocator. Room for the structured sessions and for the conversations that happen off to the side.
The rarest founders, the managers backing them, and the conviction to be early.
This is where the cycle starts.
