VC | Venture Studio & Incubator | Managing Partner @CanaGlobal CanaGlobal is the world’s first faith-driven venture studio and startup incubator, fostering a portfolio of innovative startups, revitalizing communities through Startup Towns across the U.S., and spearheading the launch of a global news media platform. Meet Gerald Duran, the driving force behind CanaGlobal. A prodigious 6x serial entrepreneur, Gerald is nothing short of a luminary in the venture studio domain. Unlike many in the venture sphere, Gerald isn’t one to merely spectate. He embodies the spirit of a true operator, opting to lead from the front rather than observing from the sidelines. While many venture capitalists and advisors remain content in the stands, Gerald is fiercely present on the field, paving the way. I’ve spent three decades leading a venture studio, and 40 years launching and scaling startups, always challenging the status quo. From pioneering coding bootcamps in the ‘90s to leading faith-driven venture innovation today, I believe in reimagining how things could and should be—whether in startups, tech, venture capital, or faith.
