This is our Flagship Catalyst Cap Intro event of 2026 for alt investing funds. It is investor driven and transactional in scope, hosting alpha focused managers and institutional grade investors. The event follows Catalyst’s uniquely structured cap intro format with headline talks by influential investors, lunch presentations by managers, followed by an afternoon packed with pre-scheduled, private meetings. It concludes with a wine networking reception.
