Some of the Allocator RSVPs are shown below.

REQUEST TO SPEAK, SPONSOR

We always seek interesting content for the 361 Community. Apart from allocators, we seek insights from fund managers, founders (including in philanthropy), or thought leaders. To speak and sponsor a 361 event, please take a moment to fill out our sponsor form at 361firm.com/sponsors.

Current sponsorship options for Florida are below.

**A special event is April 28-29 in Riyadh as we co-host the “World With Purpose Summit II” followed by events in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, with over 250 participants, and partnership with Saudi ministries.

We will have a unique audience of Saudi and other GCC family offices and sovereign wealth funds plus global thought leaders and investors.

KSA sponsorship opportunities start at $20K for co-sponsoring Day 2 Investment Roundtables. If interested, again fill out the sponsor form, and our Dubai-based partner Roberta Calarese will be in touch. We have several sponsors lined up, and more coming, so again, the sooner you commit, the easier it is to fit you into the program.

On Jan. 21, 2025, 361Firm will host our 250th Tuesday Briefing in a row. At the 200th mark, we hosted "watch party" gatherings in over 30 cities. This time we aim for 50+ locations and 250+ participants. We seek your help to co-organize (or participate in) simple informal "watch party" gatherings.

Jan. 21 Agenda (all times ET):

10:30: Participant 5-second 4-point Intros (1) name, (2) firm, and (3) city of birth and current residence

Watch Parties will be soon listed, and already include Houston, NY, SF, LA, Naples, Cincinnati, and Boston - more to come with your help. If interested in hosting in your city/town or neighborhood, please let us know via the form at www.361firm.com/250, so we can add it to our venue list, and invite others nearby.

As we move to 2025, I invite you to review but also feel free to contribute to our deal pipelines, events and 361 community initiatives.

PIPELINES and DIAGNOSTICS. We now have over 1500 in the "Funnel" and we can follow up best on those deals onboarded via 361firm.com/onb., which has the same questions and sub-categories as our Dignostic which the allocators submit on asset class, industries, deal type, size, region, etc., and key words. It takes just 2-5 minutes, but make for easier match-making, and inbound interest.

Confidential parts stay with our core internal team. If we see interest, we can officially bring on as a mandate. Here is an overview deck for raising capital via our broker-dealer, 361.pub/overview2.  

MANDATES. We now have over 60 mandates, and you can see most in our No-name Deal Pipeline. We now have 20+ funds in niches like AI and private credit and 20+ direct deals from $2M to $200M for equity (e.g. in payments, VR, domes, tire recycling) and debt (e.g. off-grid-EV charging, GP buy-out).

If approved by the client, mandated funds and companies are added to our Deal Database Shared with 4K+ Allocators.

EVENTS. Meanwhile, consider joining our events to meet investors. If you become an investment banking client, you can possibly pitch at our Allocator Session segments of the conferences and schedule 1:1 meetings.

FULL ACCESS FOR QUALIFIED PURCHASERS. QP, approved on updating or submitting our Diagnostic, can access our External Pipeline, with links to decks and to schedule meetings. Our pipeline looks rather different today than it did a few years ago. We approach from both the buy-side (forming funds or SPVs into funds/companies) and the sell-side where we have 40+ active mandates with funds and companies (some are between vintages or rounds).

Meanwhile, all can see the No Name Pipeline, excerpt below.
