    Third Edition

    An intimate gathering on Sir Richard Branson's private island

    For too long, business leaders have stayed silent while the system that fuels prosperity, innovation, and human flourishing has been undermined. Now is the time to bring capitalism back—to its core principles, to America, and to the world. At this Summit, we're not just talking about capitalism. We're defending it.

    Now in its third edition, this Summit has become the premier gathering for business leaders committed to free enterprise, individual responsibility, and market-driven solutions.

    This is the place to forge deep, values-aligned connections with the business leaders shaping the future. Before, during, and after the Summit, we facilitate one-on-one meetings between entrepreneurs, investors, and executives who share a commitment to free enterprise, individual responsibility, and market-driven solutions.

    This exclusive gathering brings together 40+ of the most influential capitalists, visionaries, and disruptors—individuals who are building and investing in the future of principled business.

    Coordinated by Liberty Ventures, and spearheaded by an incredible Host Committee composed of past participants including Daniel Shakhani, Sol Rashidi, Mark Bailey, Brett Pojunis, and Brian Bourgerie.

    CEO, John Chisholm Ventures · Serial Entrepreneur & Angel Investor · Trustee, Santa Fe Institute · Former trustee, MIT

    "Very meaningful conversations for me included Tarren Bragdon, whose four adopted kids make for a perfect case study of multi-ethnicity; Joe De Sena, who downplays 'Race' in marketing 'Spartan Race' to avoid limiting his customers; master impresario Michael Dorf; and John Mackey, from whom I learned over lunch the complementarity of MDMA and psilocybin."

    "Thank you Alex and team for an incredible event! So many great connections and takeaways. The cold plunge in boulder creek amidst the snow this morning was a far cry from Necker Island, and the tan is already fading, but the memories will not! Until next time."

    "My favorite part was meeting everyone (and the amazing animals). As an aspiring entrepreneur, I cannot express how invaluable and insightful this experience was — let alone to have the Liberty Ventures team sponsor the opportunity for some of us! I'm grateful because these last few days would otherwise not have been possible."
