Our 2023 Impact Report is out 🚀 On my side, we are continuing to expand the network between the BII start-ups and international investors. The feedback the start-ups receive at each pitch session is extremely valuable in helping the founders to understand the patterns of the questions being asked. Not only does this enable them to adapt accordingly, but also to build a strong case that is commercially strong and resilient. Thanks a lot Adrian Friederich for your support and input on the investor network. 💚 Read the full impact report here: https://bit.ly/3QiunBZ

At Disrupt 2024, a notable panel will convene to address a pressing issue in the tech industry: the distinction between genuine opportunity and mere hype. Featuring insights from Pegah Ebrahimi of FBV Ventures, Natalie Sportelli from Bullish, and Harry Tannenbaum of Mill, the discussion will delve into how collective excitement can propel founders and venture capitalists toward certain technologies, often overlooking the inherent risks. The panelists aim to shed light on the lessons learned from previous boom and bust cycles, emphasizing the importance of discerning true potential from fleeting trends. This understanding is crucial for navigating the complexities of the tech landscape and achieving sustainable success. #Disrupt2024 #TechIndustry #VentureCapital #Innovation #Entrepreneurship ---------------------- Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eCdkyZJZ

🚨Investors, we’ve been cooking something up, especially for you. 🚨 INVEST is a new track at Turing Fest which is solely for early-stage VCs, with a group of carefully selected funds like Accel, Seedcamp, MMC, and plenty more. We’ve curated an afternoon of keynotes, firesides, panels, and peer-led round tables. All of this discussion will be followed by founder/investor drinks, and then a causal investor-only meal to follow. The following morning will see founder/investor matchmaking opportunities. Investor tickets will also give access to the main conference, with its triple themes of Build (product & engineering), Grow (GTM & customers), and Lead (people & company-building). We want to stimulate genuinely useful discussions about challenges and opportunities in the industry right now, how the near future might look, and what best practice looks like at the world’s best funds.

This year, we invited our East Ventures ecosystem to delve into the unexpected, challenge conventional wisdom, and discover the untapped potential that awaits those willing to venture “Beyond the obvious” at East Ventures Summit 2024. After the pandemic of our lifetime, an inflationary environment combined with geopolitical tension changed how we look at business and investment horizons and draw our energy and focus to respond to the market. We are easily distracted by issues and lose the big picture. Economic cycles always happen, they often happen within a decade. But look beyond the decades, the cycle that happens within century. Look beyond the obvious. At East Ventures, we pride ourselves on our ability to be resilient. We don't just follow the trend; we grasp opportunities before others even see their definitions. We define our own category. This approach requires us to constantly challenge conventional assumptions and act counterintuitive. #EastVentures #EastVenturesSummit2024
