American Resiliencein an Age of Challenge and Change
A private gathering where ideas, policy and capital convene.
The Aspen Strategic Capital ForumAmerican Resilience
The premise
Where ideas, policy and capital meet in a private setting.
The inaugural Aspen Strategic Capital Forum is a closed-door convening for senior principals focused on American resilience: institutional allocators, operating founders, public-policy leaders, family offices and private investors.
The value is not scale.
The value is focus.Most conferences are built around scale. ASCF is designed around focus: a smaller environment for senior-level dialogue, candid perspective and substantive discussion - away from exhibit halls, service-provider noise and public spectacle.
Over three days in Aspen, participants step into a setting built for serious discussion on the industries that will define the next decade: defense, energy, critical infrastructure, industrial capacity and strategic capital formation.
DatesJanuary 7-10, 2027
VenueThe St. Regis Aspen Resort

Advancing the principles behind American resilience.
The Aspen Strategic Capital Forum is convened by the Nestpoint Foundation, in partnership with Univest Securities. The Foundation exists to support, strengthen, promote and protect American exceptionalism at home and abroad, and to advance the principles that make it possible: liberty, opportunity, entrepreneurship and individual responsibility.
American resilience is part of that mission. A nation is not exceptional in the abstract. It is exceptional because it can build, finance and defend itself — and because it has people willing to do the work. That is why the Foundation convenes this Forum: to bring the principals who move capital, policy and industry into one room, off the record, once a year.

Presidential candidates, senior campaign voices, advisers and elected leaders with a direct view into the next policy cycle.
Major institutions, sovereign investors, pensions, endowments, foundations, consultants, insurers, family offices and private investors.
Operating founders, portfolio-company CEOs and executives scaling mission-critical platforms across the industrial base.
Senior-level discussion on regulation, appropriations, energy policy and strategic-industrial priorities.
Substantive exchange with allocators and principals evaluating where long-duration strategic capital may flow next.
Practical insight from operators building in markets where policy, national security and infrastructure demand are converging.
