Co-hosted by MDSV Capital, The Promontory and VC Nest, the Emerging Managers and LPs Happy Hour enjoyed a great turnout consisting of top-tier emerging manager funds (EMFs) and active family offices and fund-of-funds investing in emerging managers, such as Makena Capital, Gopher Asset, Lionheart VC, Next Legacy Partners, Fiat Ventures and Cantos Ventures.

The panel discussion, moderated by Jeremiah Owyang of Blitzscaling Ventures, featured MDSV Capital Managing Partner Michael Downing, alongside Alex Tonelli of Endurance Companies and Joo Lee-Lim of WIL Ventures. The panelists had a lively discussion on how they evaluate EMFs as well as the pros and cons of being a generalist vs. sector specialist fund.
