Ertan Can — Building Europe’s first Micro-VC FoF

Ertan Can is the founder and managing partner of Multiple Capital, a pan-European micro-VC fund-of-funds targeting seed-stage emerging managers. Launched inside a family office in 2012 and spun out in 2018, Multiple mapped Europe's emerging manager ecosystem early, backing solo GPs across deep tech, AI, fintech, and defense. The fund has committed to 30+ micro-VCs with indirect exposure to 1,000+ startups, delivering top-decile performance with outliers like UiPath. Multiple's edge combines rigorous manager selection at sub-institutional fund sizes with European valuation arbitrage and US-scale exit paths. Operating from Luxembourg for institutional readiness, the fund maintains disciplined €1M check sizes and targets managers with demonstrable unfair advantages and concentrated portfolio construction.

Alan Mattamana — Inside Fairview Capital's $10B Emerging Manager Ecosystem

Alan Mattamana is the Managing Partner at Fairview Capital Partners, a $10B fund-of-funds founded in 1994 as one of the largest minority-owned investment firms in the US. After Princeton engineering, McKinsey, and Polaris Venture Partners, he joined Fairview in 2009 and ascended to Managing Partner in 2024, leading the firm's co-investment program. Fairview commits to 15-25 managers per vehicle using equal-weighted portfolios (~60% venture, ~40% growth/buyout), staged across 3-5 year tranches for vintage diversification. The firm's proprietary database tracks 600+ diverse and emerging managers, combining quantitative benchmarking with exhaustive reference checks. Mattamana allocates 10-20% to late-stage co-investments (Series B+) through GP advisory board relationships, concentrating capital in de-risked winners at reduced fee drag. As anchor LP for first- and second-time funds, Fairview backs 300+ funds representing 10,000+ companies. Strategic partnerships include New York Life's 2024 minority stake, Steve Ballmer's $400M commitment for Black fund managers, and the Ford/Visa Foundations Emerging Managers Fund. Connecticut's Constitution Fund series delivered 30% IRR in top vintages, with fees compressed from 0.8% to 0.65% as the program scaled.

Youngrok Kim — Engineering Asia's Andreessen Moment

Youngrok Kim is the Founding Partner of GREE LP Fund, a $170M bicultural fund-of-funds split between US and Japan vehicles, built on a contrarian timing thesis: Asia-Pacific's venture markets are at their 2010 moment, when cloud/mobile minted Andreessen Horowitz and Initialized Capital, and AI's platform shift will produce the next generation of iconic regional franchises. Structured as separate mandates rather than commingled capital, GREE LP commits to 20+ managers per fund at the sub-$50M threshold where collaborative check sizes eliminate brand competition. Portfolio spans established platforms (NFX, Future Ventures) and first-time GPs selected for strategy-fit over pedigree: former GitLab CMO doing DevTools seed, ex-Palantir operators with 150-person deal sourcing networks. Nine of ten deployed funds exceed median TVPI despite 3-year vintages. The platform allocates 10-15% to late-stage co-investments and LP secondaries as liquidity architecture, targeting first distributions within five years to smooth cash flow curves before primary exits mature.
