Why GPs Join 42Geeks
As a General Partner, your greatest differentiator is access:
Access to top-performing GPs (including Founders Fund, 500 Startups) to learn from.
Access to major allocators - both local LPs in each region and fellow Geeks on the trip.
Access to emerging markets before your peers get there.
Access to the networks that consistently generate outlier returns.
Access to LPs seeking exposure to Bay Area GPs and global fund managers.
WHY GPS LOVE THESE TRIPS
1. Source High-Quality Dealflow in Emerging Markets
Meet founders, CEOs, and rising tech leaders across two to three countries per tour.
We open doors to ecosystems where capital is scarce, valuations are reasonable, and breakout potential is enormous.
You’ll leave with proprietary insights and access your peers simply won’t have.
In many markets, when local capital tightens, there’s no one to continue funding breakout companies upstream. The LPs on these trips often become the ones who back the GPs they meet, creating a powerful handoff between emerging ecosystems and global capital.
2. Build Global GP-to-GP Relationships
Connect with GPs from Silicon Valley, MENA, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
These are the peers you’ll co-invest with, syndicate with, diligence deals with, or collaborate with on future funds.
42Geeks creates long-term alliances through shared, on-the-ground experience - not through quick conference interactions.
You also gain direct access to some of the most successful GPs in the world for learning and mentorship.
3. Gain On-the-Ground Market Intelligence - and the Network to Act on It
Meet ministers, regulators, leading VC firms, unicorn founders, and family offices, all curated to give you a 360° understanding of each market. You’ll walk away with clarity on:
Competitive landscapes
Talent pools
Regulatory environments
Local investor appetite
Cultural dynamics
Macro risks and opportunities
This level of insight is impossible to glean from reports or short fly-in visits — and it’s the kind of intelligence LPs value and founders trust.

Firms looking to build relationships with new LPs
