As private markets evolve at record pace, discerning investors are seeking forward looking insights and strategic access to emerging opportunities. This Forum brings together national thought leaders to discuss the fundamentals of speed in AI Infrastructure, Web 3 Blockchain and Currency.

The mass creation of AI companies has exposed hard limits in data infrastructure— compute speed, storage bottlenecks, energy use, and cost structures that traditional cloud models cannot absorb. Todd Smith and his colleagues will share how they see this constraint not as a scaling problem, but as an architectural one. Their ontology reframes performance as a systems-level issue, leading to the creation of a federated fabric layer capable of delivering up to 30× speed improvements. Execution integrity will be demonstrated through live system examples, showing how perspective becomes infrastructure. In Part Two, Brian Anderson will explore how shifts in currency, tokenization of real-world assets, and stablecoin infrastructure are redefining trust and liquidity in financial systems. Again, beginning with ontology: how value is perceived, stored, and transferred in a post-Web2 world.

Whether you are an experienced LP, wealth manager, or sophisticated investor, this event provides a curated lens into the trends that will define capital deployment in the years ahead.

The forum is hosted by Romy Frances Kochan and Natalie Ann Hazen, General Partners at Frances Ann Capital. Their Southwest Florida funds use a unique Customer Acquisition Strategy to identify high-potential ventures and deliver measurable impact to investors and the region.

Join us for an afternoon of insights, thoughtful conversations, and light refreshments.
