How did you manage to IPO on the Nasdaq as a European unicorn founder? "Because they said we couldn't do it". 🦄💥 Always so grateful to hear our LP and superstar founder Claudio Erba share gold nuggets on his founder journey. More than half a decade to hit that first million and then taking off to HUNDREDS of millions in revenue. Unicorn valuation. IPO in Canada and on the Nasdaq. 🔔 And all this without ever uprooting Docebo from its Italian 🇪🇺 origins. Loads of lessons for both entrepreneurs and investors, which 30 LPs and Super Angels in Turin got the chance to hear live at the Italian Tech Week official invite-only LP side event. Co-hosted by Exceptional Ventures with the very exceptional Paolo Pio showing some insightful data on the future of health and longevity in tech, and Silicon Roundabout Ventures where I talked, of course, about Deeptech. It was great to finally catch up in person with some of our backers and celebrate after the final closing of our 1st fund. And to discover that 1) Italy is finally stepping into venture capital, and 2) that LPs and Family Offices from all over Europe are keen to learn about new trends from both new managers and tech entrepreneurs. Also thanks to our friend Simon Menashy for joining us and helping us with the dinner :) ... til the next one! Needless to say, if you're a Family Office or HNW LP and would like to be invited to upcoming events like these: drop me a DM here! #deeptech #venturecapital #limitedpartners #familyoffices #angelinvesting

interesting article this year in Capital Brief by Jack Derwin on the how the #asx wants Australian tech companies to list at home. one is reminded of an article a few years back in CTech by Calcalist called "The Australian exchange where Israeli tech companies go to die" article: https://lnkd.in/dA-S-bQ Here in Europe, the market is very different where venture capital supports many tech companies until they become profitable and then many remain private and become part of the "Mittelstand" private and family owned success stories.

VC-turning-founder is a journey spoken less about than the holy grail of founders joining the dark side of VC 😉  Nonetheless, we love it when PSV folks use their learnings and experience with us to found new companies. That's why we were sad to say goodbye to Simon Bøttkjær and Jacob Graubaek Houlberg on their last day in the PSV jersey last week, but today on the contrary, we're overly excited to celebrate the launch of their startup Signal 🚀 The strong duo is building an intelligence platform designed to guide VC & PE investors through the ever-growing ocean of information related to investment opportunities. If there's one thing Simon and Jacob have, it's domain expertise and a deep understanding of the problem they're solving. We're proud to have played a role in that, and can't wait to cheer them on as they turn the VC world data-driven. https://lnkd.in/dqxXjp3S https://lnkd.in/dGgpDNFG https://lnkd.in/dFnnqKmx
