Overview
The Global Takeoff Summit is invitation-only, bringing together the world's best company builders and venture studios alongside the investors who back them.
Builders are selected through a rigorous application process, and the room stays intentionally curated so every conversation is a fit, not a browse.
Company builders don't just back outside founders. They originate the ideas, assemble the founding teams, and launch companies themselves, often several at once inside a single firm. A single relationship with one studio can touch five, ten, or more companies over time, which is why we built this summit around them.

"The Global Takeoff Summit was one of the most memorable events in venture capital. The company builders generate a dynamic cycle of value creation for the startup ecosystem that Fidelity Private Shares strongly supports."
