/ for Investors 
Thesis first. Then people. Then deals.
We do not lecture. An investor arrives with a thesis - or a hunch of one - and spends three months testing it on people who run funds for a living: in a small forum, with a mentor, at closed-door pitches, and in the Valley. You leave with a thesis that survived, an LP deck the group has taken apart, and a network that stays for life.
Your thesis, written down before anyone else reads it.
Fund and deal structures, raising capital, portfolio construction.
Under twenty investors or teams. The same small group every week, in confidence.
A mentor who has built a fund. Evening pitches, from the investor side of the table.
In-person meetings with investors, LPs, founders and academics.
Your LP deck, crashed by the group. Then the alumni network, for life.
What's in the program.
150+ hrs of contentHow a cohort runs.
Trip to Silicon Valley or other hotspot travels separately - like all good things.
Meet your counterparts in person.
Optional trips to Silicon Valley and other innovation hotspots for in-person meetings with investors and LPs, founders and academics. The relationships are the point.
Your fund. Our machine.
For angels, families & first-time GPs: beyond teaching you to build the fund, we can design, launch & operate it with you - thesis, legal, pipeline, due diligence, governance & reporting, under your name. You own the strategy & the upside; we run the machine.
What investors going global say
“The content, preparation, and the trip itself directly helped us launch our Fund. Such world-class content and global connections are hard to find anywhere in the world, including in our home country. But I8GA has it. We received 1000x more than we expected. Thank you.”
“I8GA provides theory and practical material, just like others. But, more importantly, they provide practical examples - real examples, people we interact with personally, who have done this and continue to do so. And the trip itself was a real breakthrough. It made everything even more real. I still use these methods, materials, and contacts years later. It really helped us build our business - at a world-class level.”
Questions, answered plainly
For individual (“angel”) investors and investment teams of 1-3 who want to access cross-border deals and learn to build venture funds. Most arrive with a thesis and some investments behind them; we still go back to the basics, thoroughly.
Three months, hybrid: week 1 in person where possible, then weekly online. 150+ hours. Twice a year. The week-by-week curriculum is in the one-pager - leave a contact, or come to the next info session and we will walk you through it.
Russian in the room - the forum, the mentor, the workshops in Moscow. English with the Valley - the pitch nights and the trek. We help with the second until you do not need us to.
