Value Creation: Simplified
A complimentary 60-minute session for SVCA and VPCA members, led by Dan Cremons (Alpine Investors; author, Winning Moves; Chicago Booth). GPs, deal partners and portfolio C-suite leave with a working model of how equity value gets created, a live readiness diagnostic, and a daily discipline to apply it — plus a first look at Ascend Asia, launching 2027. Register by 9 October.
Capital and exits across Southeast Asia are concentrating in companies with proven management teams. The question every LP is quietly asking is the one only you can answer: can the teams in your portfolio actually make value creation happen?
SVCA and VPCA invites you to a live 60-minute preview session built for the operators you back. And for you, as the investor whose returns depend on their execution.
This session is led by Dan Cremons, who has sat in every seat at the PE table: 14 years as an investor at Alpine Investors, one of the few firms in history to return 3x net on successive funds, plus CEO, COO, and CFO roles inside PE-backed companies. He is the author of the bestselling book Winning Moves: 105 Proven Ways to Create Value in PE-Backed Companies, and teaches value creation at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
This is not a lecture. It is practical, not conceptual, and your portfolio leaders will leave with a shared mental model, a live diagnostic, and a daily discipline they can put to work immediately.
We look forward to welcoming your teams to work through:
- A simple mental model for how equity value actually gets created. We'll cover the working value creation frameworks from Winning Moves, taught in Dan's course on Value Creation at Chicago Booth.
- An honest read on your own value creation readiness. Evaluating yourself against the five questions every value creation plan must answer and know exactly where your biggest gap sits.
- The value creator's mindset. A daily discipline Dan uses to help leaders clarify their thinking on what to focus on daily to make value creation happen.
Why it matters now: Operational value creation is driving a growing share of PE returns, as higher rates and multiple contraction narrow the room for financial engineering. "Proven value creator" is fast becoming the most valuable line on an executive's track record — and the strength of your portfolio's leadership bench is increasingly your fund's edge.
Target Audiences : GPs / Deal Partner / Portfolio C-Suite
Plus: You get a first look at Ascend Asia, the region's first leadership accelerator built specifically for executives of investor-backed companies, launching in 2027. More information on early access to the founding cohort will be shared in this session.
This is a complimentary session for SVCA and VPCA members. Register yourself and the leaders in your portfolio by 9 Oct, Friday.
