Cap Intro
Events
Foor doors to capital, across North America.
Each year, EMA’s Cap Intro events connect emerging managers with the allocators actively looking for them.
Held in-person in and virtually through Fuel’s Ignite series, Cap Intro pairs a decade of EMA community trust with Fuel’s allocator-first technology, powered by Hedge Connection.
In person
Bringing emerging managers together face to face with institutional allocators, building on a decade of relationships across North America.
Virtual
Hosted on Fuel’s platform, connecting managers with institutional investors, family offices, and advisors worldwide, with no travel required.
A platform built for real connections
Our virtual Cap Intro events run on Fuel’s technology, powered by Hedge Connection.
Every meeting is a genuine match, not a numbers game.
Every allocator on the platform has individually opted in and is actively looking for managers matching their search requirements.
Allocators save a shortlist, and the algorithm distributes meetings fairly while surfacing the best matches.
Selective screening:
managers meet minimum requirements before accessing each event, keeping the room relevant.
Managers who receive zero meetings at an event receive a partial refund.
