Events & Convenings
Curated gatherings that put the right funders, founders and partners in one room, and turn the room into follow-through.
What we do
A good convening is designed around who needs to meet whom, and why. Iva Kaufman has built her career on bringing funders together, from a family philanthropy initiative across North American Jewish federations to investor evenings during New York Climate Week.
We plan the whole event: the guest list, the program, the partners, the room and the follow-up. The follow-up is the part most events skip, and it is where the value is.
Every co-host and presenting venture agrees up front on how introductions are credited, so the people who bring their best relationships to the room are the ones who benefit from it.
- Event strategy and design: who should be in the room, and what should happen there
- Guest curation from our funder, family-office and investor networks
- Programming: speakers, fireside chats, and themed breakout rooms where ventures present
- Co-host and partner agreements
- Venue, registration and logistics
- Follow-through after the event: introductions made and tracked
How we engage
