Venture rewards edge, discipline, and performance - but the game has always been
private, slow, and opaque. We’re making it competitive and social, with mentorship from the best.

How the League
Ranks Investors

Our evaluation system is designed for the real craft of venture investing.

Discipline Over Markups

Our ranking system isn't about short-term marks. We evaluate investment process, pacing, and unique judgment — the edge great fund managers develop.

Fund Manager Hygiene

Scouts track their vintages, valuations, and exceptions using our structured reporting workflow. Good habits earn points.

Long-Term Investing, Real-Time Game

Each venture fund is a 10-year+ sport. The league gives it a real-time feel and shorter feedback loop, without pushing people toward shallow, fast-markup decisions.

Your Move.

Only 10 players make the cut each season.
Real stakes. Real rewards.
The next season of venture is about to begin.

Are you in the league - or watching from the sidelines?
