EVOLVE
Three days. Thirteen investors and entrepreneurs. One room in Nassau.
An intimate gathering of investors and entrepreneurs.
The EVOLVE Capital Retreat convened in Nassau in July 2026, sponsored by Block Reign, Gamma Prime, and Rountree Development. Over three days, attendees spent extended time in each other's company, working through their respective projects and investment interests and finding the shared ground and strategic synergies that rarely surface in a single meeting. The pace was deliberate. The value was proximity.
How the three days unfolded.
Symposium & Pitch Competition
At the fourth annual business symposium, Cathryn Bonar, Chief Executive of Block Reign, and Fran Jandjel, Chief Financial Officer of Rountree Development, delivered keynote addresses to an audience of emerging entrepreneurs on what leadership in the business world actually requires. The entrepreneurs were then challenged to pitch a panel of judges, Bonar among them, on ventures of their own, competing for mentorship and a place in a Miami-based accelerator to build the most investable ideas into operating businesses. Mia Gordon took the competition.
The Goldwynn Reception
Aurum Nexus hosted a private reception in the penthouse at Goldwynn Resort & Residences, sponsored by MAISON, where entrepreneurs, sponsors, and investors met away from the formal program.
The Island
A day given over to a private island resort, the Bahamian beaches, and the scenery that makes the case for the setting on its own.
The Finale
A gala evening closed the retreat, with attendees hosted as VIP guests.

EVOLVE concluded in July 2026. The next Aurum Nexus retreat is PROVENANCE, in Miami, Florida, November 11 to 14, 2026. Participation is by inquiry and subject to verification and approval.
Be woven into the week, not bolted onto it.
Partners anchor a pillar, host a signature moment, or take the founding position, experienced as a host and a peer rather than a vendor. Positions are exclusive and confirmed on a first-commitment basis.
A room assembled around who is in it.
An intimate circle of verified principals convened across four days of designed proximity, in a setting built for trust rather than transaction.
