Cross Pollinate is structured radically different from traditional conference, networking, or membership organizations in the family office space. It is a peer-led organization where content is generated by, not sold to, the community.
In order to stay true to our mission and to reduce conflicts of interest, Cross Pollinate does not have sponsors or allow attendees to solicit other attendees. Most events are non-hosted, with each attendee responsible for their own costs as well as a proportional share of the overhead for the event (including the attendance and costs of the coordinator).
As part of the community, we ask participants to donate their time, questions, and expertise and to show up willing to listen and share. Contributions may include hosting an event, sharing expertise, mentoring a peer, or contributing monetarily for the coordination effort or overhead.
Most Cross Pollinate attendees are familiar with multiple forms of capital. They happily exchange financial capital for intellectual and relational capital when paying for degrees from prestigious universities or attending conferences. We expect the Cross Pollinate Community will contribute various forms of capital to the community. If you would like to discuss additional ways to contribute, please contact us.
