This is Mangusta's debut. The inaugural AGM. Every LP in the room will walk away with a visceral sense of what it means to be part of this fund.
We deliver three things in one afternoon: reward current LPs with access and connection, give Fund 2 prospects a reason to lean in, and capture a content library that extends the impact for months.
Concise. Directed. Impactful.
Each act serves a distinct purpose and creates a distinct emotional beat. Guests feel the shift as they move through the space.
We set the tone before a word is spoken. The first ten minutes tell the room this is something worth being part of.
75 minutes of stage programming designed to feel like a conversation. Every lighting cue and sound detail serves one purpose: keep the focus on the talent and draw the audience deeper into the content.
Guests make their way up to the rooftop terrace, where we set the stage for conversation with a premium open bar and curated catering.
Every segment on stage is designed with Fund 2 in mind. Every segment answers a question LPs and prospects are already asking.
Our thesis. How Mangusta views a rapidly changing world — where the opportunities are, where the pitfalls lie, and why Fund 1 has proven the model. Closing with the tease of a surprise announcement during closing remarks, giving every guest a reason to stay present through the final moment.
Two to three portfolio founders on stage, moderated by a journalist or reporter of note. Fireside format. Offer the audience an inspiring view into how smart people build what comes next.
A guest speaker from outside the portfolio, introduced by our moderator. An industry operator validating the vertical AI thesis, or a respected allocator making the case for specialized funds in this market.
Kevin returns to the stage to deliver the goods. A surprise announcement — a new partnership, a milestone, a Fund 2 reveal — that rewards everyone who locked in to the program. A call to build what comes next, together. An invitation to continue the conversation on the rooftop.
A 1901 warehouse conversion in San Francisco's Dogpatch district. Three levels of industrial character: reclaimed cedar ceilings, curated art installations, and a rooftop garden overlooking the Bay.
Reclaimed cedar ceilings, skylights, and a full bar. We design the room to reflect the Mangusta brand. 150 capacity gives us complete flexibility for staging, cameras, and audience comfort at 100 guests.
Overlooking the main room with panoramic windows facing the Bay and Oakland hills. We use this level as the reception area during the first hour, with draping between the mezzanine and main floor to build anticipation before the program begins.
Open-air garden terrace with Italian porcelain tile, bistro string lights, and sweeping views of the Bay. The natural scene change that signals the start of cocktail hour.
Production-ready infrastructure with full rigging access, a complete catering kitchen, and on-site venue management. We control every element of the environment — lighting, staging, sound, and flow — and design it all around the Mangusta brand.
Why The Pearl for Mangusta: The main floor delivers total production freedom. 150 capacity means 100 guests with a proper stage, multi-camera setup, and room to breathe. The three-level layout maps directly to the three-act structure: reception on the mezzanine, program on the main floor, cocktails on the rooftop. We shape the space to match the Mangusta brand, using lighting, staging, and design to create an environment that feels intentional, cohesive, and distinct from the hotel-ballroom AGMs that LPs attend every quarter.
Every element of this event is designed with the camera in mind. The AGM produces a content library that keeps the Fund 2 conversation alive long after the afternoon ends.
Beautiful, editorial visual documentation of the entire event. Candid and intentional. The kind of imagery that captures the feel of the room and is worth sharing — on LinkedIn, in LP updates, and across Mangusta's brand.
A highlight reel capturing the energy, the key moments, and the community. The piece that reaches LPs who attended and prospective Fund 2 investors alike.
Complete video of all on-stage programming — the opening, the founder panel, and the keynote. Polished, edited, and ready for distribution to the LP base.
Short-form clips pulled from the program and the social hour. Released over weeks as a content drip. Each one a touchpoint with the LP base and broader audience.
Full-scale inaugural AGM for up to 100 guests. Staged program flowing into rooftop cocktail reception.

The core event is the same at both levels. The difference is in production depth and polish. At $100K, we gain significantly more flexibility with scenic design — custom staging, branded environments, and atmospheric lighting that transforms the space. We add the ability to integrate video elements into the stage program if needed. Catering moves from a clean, simple offering to a more curated, upscale experience. The overall feel shifts from polished to premium.
An intimate format for 40–50 of Mangusta's core LPs. Hosted in the historic Bank of Italy building in San Francisco's Financial District. An elevated reception with a brief presentation, leveraging the Penthouse and Wine Cave.
Full Penthouse with Coit Bar, Pyramid Room, rooftop deck, and private Wine Cave. The Bank of Italy heritage writes itself into the Mangusta story.
