Private equity leaders sit between investors, boards, and portfolio operators, and few communities speak to all three at once. Open Future Forum is building a private equity community for exactly that audience. Here is what it is and who it serves.
What is the Open Future Forum private equity community?
It is the private-equity track inside Open Future Forum, a global executive community founded in Silicon Valley in 2019. It brings together PE investors, operating partners, and the founders and executives who work with them, through Forum Select, its invite-only private gatherings, and Forum Events, its open panels and gatherings. See the Private Equity Executive Forum.
Who is it for?
Partners and principals at private equity and growth firms, operating partners, and portfolio-company leaders who want a peer room that understands the deal-to-value work.
What does the community do?
Members meet across a year-round calendar of dinners, panels, and private gatherings, and connect to the wider Open Future Forum network of CFOs, CEOs, CISOs, and AI leaders, the same executives who run and evaluate portfolio companies. Members also get original research from the network on topics such as executive AI adoption.
Why a dedicated PE community?
The work spans sourcing, diligence, value creation, and exit, and the conversations that help most happen off the record with peers who have done it. A private community gives PE leaders candid benchmarks, relationships with proven operators, and a direct line to the executive talent that drives portfolio returns.
How do you get involved?
Forum Events are open to the community. Forum Select gatherings are invite-only. Request an invite or join the waitlist.
