Inside the World's Most Exclusive Events, with Alexa Karpova | Ways to Wealth EP164

This week on the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie speaks to Alexa Karpova, co-founder and CEO of Davos Premier, an agency that gets businesses, founders, and investors into the rooms they can't access on their own.Eight years ago, a crypto client asked Alexa if she could help host a dinner at the World Economic Forum. She didn't have a plan for it. She had a business partner in Switzerland who could open a few doors. They hosted one dinner, and people kept coming back for more. She never intended to build a company around it. The company built itself around her.Davos is a tiny ski village in the Swiss Alps where Fortune 500 CEOs, heads of state, and policymakers all end up in the same few streets at the same time. Alexa now runs a 2,500-person community and operates across WEF, Cannes Film Festival, Milken Summit, and Formula One, giving her clients visibility and access to the people who would otherwise be unreachable. She does it with her sister from opposite sides of the Atlantic.What sits underneath all of it is a simple belief that hasn't changed no matter how remote the world has become: the deals that matter still happen in person, in small rooms, between people who showed up.Watch every episode of the Ways to Wealth Podcast hereLearn more about Alexa hereLearn more about Alexa's company hereTimestamps:00:00 Intro00:39 Alexa01:22 Beginnings02:39 Foundations04:03 Duration05:45 Location08:49 Success10:24 Entry11:10 Markets13:43 NZ vs US15:46 Suprises16:20 Ai17:38 Impact19:46 B2B v B2C20:06 Networking21:11 Challenges22:19 Outro#waystowealth #davos #wef #networking #entrepreneurship #cannesfilmfestival #access #startups #events #familybusiness #businessdevelopment #switzerland #dealmaking #wealthbuilding
