More than capital
Pact backs early-stage founders building category-defining companies. The Summit brings our transatlantic community of LPs, founders, investors and operators together to explore the next era of technology and the markets it will make possible.
Last year, we welcomed Taavet Hinrikus (Founder, Wise) and Fahd Beg (Head of Investments, Prosus) alongside over 100 guests to celebrate Pact.
