World Dinner Series: Tokyo

Event description
Tokyo
An invitation-only gathering of investors and builders.
Allocator One’s World Dinner Series comes to Tokyo. It has held intimate dinners from New York to Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, Singapore, London, Delhi and Shanghai, and each one brings together a small, curated group of investors, founders and trusted peers.
Tokyo is a city of deep institutional and corporate capital, where long-horizon thinking is the norm and its investors are paying closer attention to private markets. This evening is for people who think globally, invest patiently and value a frank conversation.
We’ll share a few observations from our global network: how capital is moving across venture and private markets, where specialist managers are finding an edge, and how Japanese investors are reaching opportunities in Japan and abroad.
No agenda. No stage. Just a handpicked group around one table.
- A warm, private setting built for thoughtful exchange
- Familiar faces and new voices from family offices, corporate investors, entrepreneurs and global investors
- Conversations that move from markets to culture, and from ideas to lived experience
The World Dinner Series has brought together more than 1,000 investors and operators across 30+ cities. Each edition takes its shape from the city it’s in.
