Centimillionaires can meet peers through family office and investor club events, including summits, smaller gatherings and fireside chats. These settings bring investors, founders and family offices together to exchange ideas and make introductions. Deal flow often grows through follow-up and trusted relationships, so treat each event as the start of a conversation rather than a one-time pitch.
Start with focused investor gatherings
Look for events where family offices, private investors, founders and capital raisers are part of the same conversation. Family Office Club events include investor club gatherings, summits, workshops and fireside chats. The excerpts describe events in multiple US cities, with different speakers at each stop and some centimillionaires invited to speak.
A focused gathering can make it easier to find people with relevant interests and experience. Fireside chats offer a way to hear directly from wealthy entrepreneurs and investors, while the wider event can create opportunities to meet attendees facing similar investment or operating questions. One newsletter excerpt describes a planned event with a centimillionaire fireside chat and more than 100 speakers. That is an example of the mix of peer discussion and broader investor programming the club has offered.
Build relationships across events
Deal flow rarely depends on a single introduction. One event excerpt describes a member who received 43 investor referrals from a CPA they met, and another attendee who learned to raise $8 million before eventually having a $100 million company exit. These are individual stories from an event, not typical outcomes or guarantees. They do illustrate why follow-up and repeated participation can matter: a useful connection may lead to another introduction, a new source of advice or a potential investment conversation over time.
Come prepared to explain what you invest in, what you can offer, and what kinds of introductions would be useful. Then follow up with people whose interests align. Share enough information to establish fit, and use appropriate due diligence before considering an investment.
Choose a community that fits your interests
Centimillionaires are a relatively small group under the liquid-asset definition used by Henley & Partners: its 2024 report counted 29,350 people worldwide with at least US$100 million in liquid investable assets (Henley & Partners, 2024). The report also says more than 60% are entrepreneurs and company founders (Henley & Partners, 2024). That mix suggests that peer networks may include both capital providers and people with operating experience.
Consider the format and participant mix before attending. A summit may offer a broad range of conversations; a smaller event or a fireside chat may suit a more focused discussion. Investor clubs can also introduce members to other investor groups and platforms. The best fit is a community where you can contribute, assess opportunities carefully and build relationships over time.
From Family Office Club events
So we have an initiative this year to have 10 relationships, partnerships with investor clubs. We hope over time that grows to 30. So by being part of our investor club, you can meet a number of other investor clubs and platforms out there.
