Managing Partner & Chief Investment Officer, Mintiply Capital, UAE

I’m often asked, “Where can I find capital for my startup?” The good news is that there’s no shortage of capital, especially with family offices. Family offices often have significant funds ready to invest, but they face challenges in finding the right startups which could be YOURS! I had the pleasure of speaking at the Global Family Office Investment Summit in Dubai in a wonderful panel moderated by Hussein Sayed, CFA, CMT, where I shared my insights as an investor and asset manager. I also discussed what I call the key challenges family offices face in discovering the right startups, which include limited access to well-curated deal flow, a lack of expertise in specific industries, and a naturally cautious approach to risk. As a result, many family offices miss out on high-potential opportunities, leaving their capital underutilized. What are your thoughts on the challenges family offices face today? #dubai #UAE

Brandbeat Global at Global Family Office Summit

It’s rare to come across a leader who not only gathers some of the most influential minds of our time, but does so with such genuine care, intention, and integrity. Attending Anthony Ritossa’s Global Family Office Investment Summit was, without exaggeration, the most impactful conference I’ve ever been a part of. Anthony has a remarkable ability to create a space where visionaries, investors, philanthropists, and changemakers connect on a human level — not just to talk business, but to explore how we can collectively build a better future. Every detail of the experience was thoughtfully curated, and it was clear that his heart and values are embedded in everything he does. What stands out most is Anthony’s kindness and humility. Despite being surrounded by power, wealth, and global influence, he remains deeply supportive, approachable, and sincerely committed to making an impact that matters. As a fellow CEO, I walked away not just inspired, but with meaningful connections and a renewed sense of purpose. If you ever have the opportunity to work with or attend one of Anthony's summits — take it. It will change the way you see what’s possible.

He brings prominent family offices, high caliber speakers, global innovators, ultra-elite private investors, and World Leaders together, Uniting and Investing for a Brighter Future. I was honored to be a VIP Speaker at the Global Family Office Investment Summits in Dubai and Riyadh. At both of these Summits, Sir Anthony created a dynamic atmosphere where mutual trust was established, values were shared, and entrepreneurs and innovators explored collaboration opportunities like nothing I've ever seen before. "For me, family offices are not just economic engines but a huge source of pride, identity, hopes, and dreams. Our summits are a place to share stories and learn from our younger members - the ones with the potential and talent to continue our work and legacy." -- Sir Anthony Ritossa Great Leaders LIFT others so they too can RISE to their Greatness. I believe that shared success is more valuable than individual success. We are blessed so that we can bless others. Sir Anthony exemplifies this by being a strong advocate for Women in Leadership. He is a constant source of inspiration for me and the world by supporting the value of women in leadership, especially for the next generation of women leaders. I salute him and am inspired by his visionary thoughts on Women's Empowerment. “It is my belief that female leadership matters. Women are passionate, creative, and resourceful. They see the world through a lens of opportunity. They are powerful agents of change.” -- Sir Anthony Ritossa

Vishal Arora

Founder & Managing Partner at PanCosmic Capital

Anthony is a pleasure to deal with. He exudes a warm, caring, affectionate energy that allows him to foster meaningful connections and relationships benefiting all who become a part of his network. 2 key traits that allow him to repeatedly attract and retain a community of distinguished professionals and dignitaries while organizing high profile ceremonies and events are: 1) Making an honest effort to understand the needs, requirements and preferences of every attendee; 2) Putting in "personal" effort to make sure attendees feel welcome and attended to, while always staying humble and respectful. His welcoming energy is palpable during these events and there are hardly any who leave without a positive experience and meaningful connections that have the potential to be transformative in their professional journeys. The setup of these events is also well thought of and is the right mix of stress free socializing and networking, relevant content from industry experts and smaller closed door group settings for encouraging meaningful connections. Anthony is highly recommended for entrepreneurs, UHNWIs, family offices and other private and institutional investors in case they are looking to learn, collaborate, build meaningful relationships, unearth relevant business opportunities and yes, also to have a good time in a safe setting.

Stuart D Loudon

Director at Loudon Legal

My memories of Sir Anthony from our school days are of a decent, understated man. I was delighted when I visited his international event The Ritossa Summit in 2019 to see that nothing had changed. In a world of shallowness and easy answers the substance and prosperity thinking of his summits are vital for humanity. Humanity needs leadership and high level planning. By bringing the holders of substantial financial, personal, social and intellectual capital together from around the world, the Ritossa Summits constitute a powerful catalyst for this to occur. I do hope the summits will continue for many years to come. In a troubled, often self-absorbed world, in which too many fail to reach their potential, Sir Anthony's vision is one of purpose, generosity and vision. I learnt a great deal. I was inspired. My perspective has remained broadened from my experience there. I would happily recommend Sir Anthony to anyone.

I had the privilege of meeting Anthony Ritossa in Monte Carlo, Monaco, in 2017 during one of his extraordinary Ritossia Global Family Office meetings. Having attended numerous other Family Office events before, this one stood out—not only because of the impeccable hospitality but also because of the exceptional caliber of individuals and companies present. The quality of connections I made at Anthony's event was unparalleled, featuring some of the most influential and forward-thinking minds globally. I’ll never forget the moment we first met. During the welcome reception, it was on the top pool deck overlooking the iconic hairpin turn near the Sheraton Hotel. Anthony greeted me warmly and asked, "What are you looking for, and how may I help?” I mentioned that I was seeking investment capital. Without hesitation, Anthony reached into his top jacket pocket, pulled out his checkbook, and wrote a check on the spot. I had never witnessed such an extraordinary act of support and generosity. Through the Ritossa Global Family Office meetings, countless opportunities have unfolded for me, ranging from funding to new ventures and invaluable peer networks. Anthony’s events have set the global standard, serving as a vital platform for startups and companies at all stages of growth to connect with capital, mentorship, and strategic investments.

I’ve had the great privilege of working closely with Anthony Ritossa, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most visionary, dynamic, and influential leaders in the global investment community. As the Founder and Chairman of the Global Family Office Investment Summit, Anthony has built far more than a conference - he has created a world-class platform where global leaders, family offices, royal families, entrepreneurs, and investors come together to shape the future. His ability to curate high-level conversations, foster meaningful relationships, and generate real impact is unmatched. What sets Anthony apart is not just his extraordinary network, but his unwavering commitment to excellence, integrity, and purpose. He leads with intention, inspires trust, and brings people together around shared values and bold ideas. Anthony is a rare force in today’s world—one who turns vision into reality and conversations into transformative opportunities.

Sir Anthony, the photo says it all. Migrating via family values is the key to the Middle East heart and mind. All respect to you, due to one fact is you are a respectable human where all your actions and code of conduct clearly amplifies it. Key to success is respecting your self to get respected. All the best and always success.

Sir Anthony Ritossa I met him in the late 80’s. I can’t tell you how amazing, respectful, kind & a visionary he is. A truly remarkable figure. Out of all the people I met & I have met so many even Steve Jobs. My 5 favorites: Princess Di, Mother Teresa, Shiekh Mohammed, Gideon Gartner & Sir Anthony Ritossa. Sir Anthony is extremely amazing In his own right. I have advised a lot of companies & I keep that private that have received funding due to his events. So I have a special place for him in my heart for all the jobs created & amazing humans who are able to progress their careers. A must attend to all his events. Any money spent on his events is an investment and will pay off 10 times more through funding, relationships & connections. If you need more clarity contact me.

I attended the event in 2022 for the first time upon Antony's invitation. I learnt how vision changes, how those who shape the world market can be so humble, I learnt this. The friendships and trades there are all success stories. I am grateful to Antony for changing my vision. Now I am enjoying the pleasure of being able to work with him.

Managing Partner at Oversubscribed Capital

I had the pleasure of attending the Global Family Office Summit in Dubai, and I must say it was an exceptionally well-organized event. It brought together a network of capital allocators, including family offices, hedge funds, and other key stakeholders. The summit not only delivered valuable insights but also created meaningful opportunities for one-on-one meetings and productive discussions on the sidelines.

John Alexander, Ph.D.

Chief Investment Officer

The Ritossa Global Family Office Investment Summit is well organized and extremely professional. A marvelous event for both existing and new family offices. As an institutional investor, I think it is a great conference to attend to share ideas with family offices, and to look of emerging managers. Both the panelists and the attendees are very accessible and transparent. The Global Family Office Investment Summit delivers great value to both the family office and institutional communities.

Launched in Dubai, the Global Family Office Investment Summit is a private invitation-only gathering of elite investors, legacy families, and visionary leaders. From Dubai to Riyadh, Miami to Cannes, the summit has grown into a forum where legacies converge, deals are born, and ideas shape the future.
