I am so glad to announce Manu Gupta, former founding team member and Partner at Lakestar, one of the leading VC firms in Europe is joining me at 5pm BST on Tuesday, 22 September for the next ‘Ecosystem Giants’ session!
Manu is one of the most influential VC investors in European tech, who as a founding team member and partner at Lakestar, helped raise $1.4bn in 6 years to become one of Europe’s largest tech venture funds. He led the investments or sits on the board of Casafari, Builder.ai, Opendoor, SoFI, Figure, Maker Studios, Omio, Forward Health, Algomi, Taulia, Aetion Health, Helpling, as well as assisting in over a dozen other exits. In his first public appearance following his departure from the firm, he will discuss early stage fundraising and upcoming trends, building a successful career in venture capital and lessons learned from partnering with some of the world’s most exceptional entrepreneurs.
The 'Ecosystem Giants' Talks highlight the ecosystem members who redefine the tech investment and startup landscape. They are sessions of practical, actionable advice to entrepreneurs and operators. At the end, an early stage founder does a 3’ pitch for feedback. Through these events, I would like to create the opportunity for us all to meet and get to know (albeit virtually) some of the most seasoned VC investors and high-growth founders.
If you or a contact of yours would like to take part as a future guest speaker, do reach out.
