G&W’s Second LP Summit in Seattle, WA.
There is something indescribably special about bringing together our passionate community and, in particular, the individuals who make all of this possible. We may not know what other funds’ LP Summits are like, but we are grateful to be able to share ourselves and our enthusiasm authentically (and we bet they usually don’t include dancing!).
Thank you to our LPs and teammates Sarah Imbach, Rohre Titcomb and Pam Kostka for taking the stage with us.
To our portfolio founders Nicole Schmidt, Tiya Gordon and Arianna Trujillo-John. We’re grateful for the ability to put the spotlight on each of you and the incredible work you are doing. You make us so proud.
To Dance Church‘s Kate Wallich and Tommy House, for getting a room full of investors to stand up and dance it out together.
To Lynn Loacker at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP for hosting us in your beautiful space with panoramic views of Seattle and the Olympics (even on a somewhat cloudy day.)
To all of our volunteers who helped the event run seamlessly: Afshan Abbas, Amanda Tsang, Charlotte Massey, Iris Zhou, Katarina Matayoshi and Levi Reed.
To the G&W team, the best team anyone could ever ask for.
And to every portfolio founder, LP, coinvestor and friend who makes this community unstoppable.

A special note about our bartender, Amanda. Amanda is a Navy combat veteran who is passionate about giving back to her veteran community. She gives 10% of all profits to non-profit organizations that support veterans in need. If you’re looking for bartending services (both traditional and non alcoholic) or rental, staffing, or distribution services, you can reach her at 4.the.love.of.vets.cocktail.service@gmail.com or on Thumbtack or Gig salad. Thank you, Amanda!
