THE SHIFT
Connection Revolution
THE GIRO IS COMING
Where Business Meets Adventure. Connections Go Beyond Networking.
Our journey begins with The Giro Explorer on the weekend of 23rd to 25th May: our very first in-person experience, and the spark that will ignite our growing community.
This will be followed by the official launch of the REKONNEKT network and a curated series of engaging, insightful online programs. Then, in late September 2025, we’ll reunite for our second in-person event — a hike in Andorra with our super guest and queen of the mountains, Manu Vilaseca - leading into a bold and powerful 2026 together.
I’m counting on you. I’m excited for us. And I know we’re just getting started.
LAST MINUTE SPOTS AVAILABLE →
MEET MANU VILASECAIf a marathon sounds intense, how about 250 miles in a single day? Now imagine doing that three times in one month. At REKONNEKT, we’re inspired by stories of grit, resilience, and humble beginnings—and Manu Vilaseca is exactly that. From facing setbacks to conquering extreme endurance challenges, Manu has transformed adversity into fuel for greatness. Join us in August for an inspiring Fireside Chat, where she’ll share how she turned obstacles into unstoppable momentum. Ready to connect with a true legend? |  In late September, you’ll get to meet Manu in person at the REKONNEKT Visionary In-Person Event, in the mountains of Andorra, Spain - for a superb HIKE! |

Visionary Voices
INSIDE THE MIND: NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Luis surfing at Nazare
Meet Luis Felipe Magon, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Supera Capital, in this exclusive and insight-packed Fire Chat.
With a rich background in the financial market, Magon has worked alongside one of Brazil’s most successful entertainment entrepreneurs, launched his fund and VC, and is now making waves—literally and figuratively—as an investor in the surfing niche and a seeker of the next unicorn.
As accomplished as he is in business, Luis also embraces an extreme passion: Big Wave Surfing. We dive into the stories, challenges, preparation, and sheer resilience it takes to balance such a thrilling pursuit with a demanding professional life (if “balance” is even the right word!).
He’s also one of Rekonnekt’s Founding Members—and next year, he’s launching his most ambitious project yet: the biggest wave pool in South America, right in Brazil.
Should we plan a trip and join him?
