🔊 Tip na víkendové počúvanie: Naša Vladimira Cincurova bola hosťom podcastu fin4elle s Marika Čupa, kde rozoberá základy anjelského investovania. 💡 Ak vás láka svet investícií a premýšľate, kde začať, určite si nenechajte ujsť túto epizódu! 🎧 #womeninvestors #angelinvesting #startupinvesting
Tvořím články a podcasty o investování.▪️Mým záměrem je inspirovat ženy k investování a budovat komunitu žen, které investování zajímá.
Je vám blízké angel investování 👼🏻 nebo o něm zatím příliš nevíte ⁉️ Angel investování je úzce spojené se světem start-upů, což je pro nás, běžné investory, ne moc známá půda. ✴️ Víte, kdo je to angel investor a do čeho investuje? ✴️ Myslíte, že angel investorem může být i běžný investor s menším kapitálem nebo je to byznys jenom pro profesionály, kteří investují desítky milionů korun a více? ✴️ Tušíte, jak probíhá investování do start-upů, jaká jsou rizika a na co si dát pozor? ✴️ Věděli jste, že uspěje zhruba 3 – 5 % ze všech start-upů? To není moc, ale start-upy, které uspějí, mohou investorům vydělat balík. 💰 💰💰 👉🏻 A právě angel investování a investování do start-upů bylo tématem dalšího podcastu 🎙️ fin4elle, jehož úžasným hostem byla Vladimira Cincurova. Vlaďka je spoluzakladatelka společnosti LUMUS Investment Collective , platformy pro ženy – angel investorky, které chtějí investovat do startupů. S Vlaďkou jsme investování do start-upů probraly poměrně důkladně a vy si vše můžete poslechnout na Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eeA8Ua_k Nebo Apple podcasts: https://lnkd.in/eFnEiqUT Enjoy 😊🙋♀️ ❓ A co vy? Podělte se, jak jste na tom s investováním do start-upů: 👉🏻 Máte už nějaké investice za sebou? 👉🏻 Zvažujete, že začnete? 👉🏻 Nebo víte, že investování do start-upů není pro vás?

The warmth and connection from our Christmas gathering still lingers, reminding us how powerful community truly is. Thank you Dennis Fino and Slovak PRO - Slovak Professionals for your beautiful words. We believe that together we can shape a more inclusive, equitable future, and we are so excited to continue this journey with you all. Here’s to the power of community and the change we create together! #CommunityForImpact #WomenInvestors #GratefulForPartnerships

A SPACE FOR CHANGE. A COMMUNITY FOR IMPACT. LUMUS Investment Collective Why is this place so special, you ask? Because it’s where female angel investors come together to connect, learn, and invest. It’s a hub of empowerment and transformation, and I’m incredibly proud that Slovak PRO - Slovak Professionals is a partner of this inspiring organization. We had the chance to meet just before Christmas, and it was such a wonderful event! Let’s talk about the facts: - Women remain underrepresented in venture capital worldwide. Research from Women in VC reveals that female partners account for less than 5% of the industry. - Over 75% of VC firms have no female investors at all, and many have never had a woman serve on the board of a portfolio company. - In 2023, startups founded by women made up less than 2% of VC funding in Europe. - Yet, amidst these staggering figures, change is happening—gradual but steady. More women are stepping into the investment space, and more female-founded startups are gaining recognition. This is where communities come in. Today, we see the power of bringing people together to create something stronger, more resilient, and impactful. Individualism has its place, but the collective energy of communities like this is where true progress begins. Here’s to a future with more organizations like this—paving the way for inclusion, equity, and growth. May the next year be one of groundbreaking transformation, where these communities multiply and thrive. Cheers to the women shaping the future of venture capital—and to those joining the movement. Thanks to my fellow colleagues Vladimir Lackovic, Gabriela Zahoranska and Jakub Kosik for being there with me!

LUMUS Investment Collective reposted this
MÔJ/NÁŠ NAJVÄČŠÍ VEDECKÝ ÚSPECH V ŽIVOTE! Tento rok sa naozaj začína veľkolepo. Dnes nám vyšiel vedecký článok v prestížnom časopise - Nature Communications ( 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMZ-xTCx). Je to prvá liga vo vedeckom svete a je veľmi náročné sa tam dostať, špeciálne ak ide o slovenský vedecký tím, a ešte k tomu aj o komerčnú biotechnologickú firmu. Je to veľká vec pre nás a aj slovenskú vedu. Som si istý, že pre MultiplexDX International je to len odrazový mostík pre ešte prestížnejšie vedecké články, inovácie a skvelú reputáciu vo vedeckom a medicínskom svete. Dúfam, že tánto prestížna publikácia uspokojí aj našich zarytých kritikov (napr. Uhríka, Blahu, Kotlára, Infovojnu a pod.). Prosím, pomôžte mi šíriť túto skvelú správu, aby sa dostala aj k nim a ich podporovateľom. Verím, že nikto z nich sa už neodváži nazývať nás pseudovedcami. Ak nie, nevadí. Reputácia vo vedeckom a onkologickom svete bude pre nás výbornou náplasťou. Tento vedecký článok sumarizuje vývoj, validáciu a preliminárne použitie v klinickej praxi nášho diagnostického testu pre pacientky s rakovinou prsníka - Multiplex8+ (www.multiplex8.com). Obrovská vďaka patrí nášmu vedeckému tímu (špeciálne Evan P.) za niekoľkoročnú prácu a snahu priniesť onkologickým pacientkam novú diagnostickú inováciu, ktorá dokáže identifikovať správnu a efektívnu liečbu. My ideme ďalej a pevne verím, že ďalšie klinické validácie pomôžu začleniť Multiplex8+ medzi klinické štandardy a táto diagnostika bude nápomocná, dostupná a preplácaná pre väčšinu pacientiek. Veľká vďaka aj vám, ktorí nám neustále držíte palce, vyjadrujete podporu a pomáhate nám. Ďakujeme našim klinickým partnerom, najmä @Východoslovenský onkologický ústav. Ďakujeme aj našim investorom z Neulogy Ventures, Crowdberry, LUMUS Investment Collective a Venture to Future Fund. Vaša dôvera a finančná pomoc nás posúva vpred. V mene celého MultiplexDX International vám chcem všetkým veľmi pekne poďakovať ... 🙏💙👍
