Last month, BaoY Van Cong dived into the nuances of early-stage and growth-stage investing, the evolving role of board members, and the impact of diversity in startup leadership alongside Carmen Alfonso Rico (Cocoa 🍫) and Victoria Bowden (the Boardroom). The panel shared their perspectives on what investors look for at different stages, how board members can actively shape company trajectories, and why diverse voices in the boardroom aren’t just important but essential. A huge thank you to the organisers and to everyone who joined! These conversations matter and not just for individual careers, but for shaping a more inclusive, high-impact startup ecosystem 🚀 .

"Europe has lost its footing as a continent... We need to shift from a downside-oriented mindset to one that embraces risk and innovation." In the latest EUVC podcast, Shmuel Chafets sat down with Andreas Munk Holm and dived deep into the challenges and opportunities ahead for Europe's tech ecosystem, exploring how the continent can reclaim its innovative edge. From navigating the regulatory hurdles to shifting from a risk-averse to a growth-oriented mindset, Shmuel highlights the pivotal role of embracing new technologies, especially AI, in reshaping Europe’s future. Key takeaways: 🇪🇺 Europe needs to shift from a risk-averse to a creator-driven mindset if it wants to remain competitive in AI. 🌍 It’s not about massive national AI projects – it’s about using existing tools to experiment and innovate at scale. 🔑 Invest in education, infrastructure, and better incentives to foster risk-taking across every level. As Shmuel puts it, Europe’s greatest asset is its people. It’s about getting back to that ‘creator mindset’ where we take risks, innovate, and ultimately build something meaningful. 🎧 Listen now and dive into the conversation on reshaping Europe's tech future 🚀
