There are also several amazing projects leveraging #stablecoins for helping the populations ignored and #underserved by traditional #finance: take PrestaFI as a good example, empowering the Latino immigrants with fair financial products. Thanks Circle for enabling the technology that is making a huge positive #impact in the Global South. #remittances #usdc #innovation

More exciting news from CluePoints! 👏

Starting a business in the bev-alc industry is HARD. You have to find a needle in the haystack of producers and co-packers (and navigate regulations). Then you have to do backflips to find a distributor and hope and pray that they will be a great partner for your brand. THEN you have to personally win over retailers to sell your product... or develop an effective DTC program... or convince restaurants and bars to not only sell but promote your product. Sometimes in different states with very different rules of play. ...and build a beautiful brand strategy that speaks to ALL of these stakeholders at once. And a packaging design that says it all in the blink of an eye. And this is the abbreviated version. I haven't even mentioned fundraising, marketing, or the endless road trips. That's why I am so glad that an accelerator like InvestBev exists to help founders navigate this journey. And so am proud to be part of it. As I move deeper into my third decade in business, I'm learning just how much mentorship fills my cup. Thanks for having me as part of your team, Investbev. w/Brian Rosen, Giuseppe Infusino, Gustavo Aguirre, Aniya Evans, Phillip Abbey, Esther Park

🇪🇺 In the spirit of efficiency and European unity, BlackWood works to strengthen cross-border collaboration within the European VC ecosystem. Last year, we led the pre-seed round for FINGREEN AI, exemplifying how VC and angel investors across borders can come together to optimally fund innovation with flexible funding solutions. 📜 It’s a testament to the strategic advantage of our pan-european angel network, which in this deal included industry-specific legal experts and ESG specialists, essential for navigating the complexities of the sometimes 'not-so-single' European market. 🤝 By uniting experienced angels with VCs, we are not only co-investing in startups with vetted value-adding investors, but also building cohesion & relationships between actors in a market that still appears too fragmented compared to the US. This approach creates a so-called 'Win-Win-Win'.

I'm biased, since I'm a Venture Partner at BGV, but this year's Impact Report once again shows how you can combine investment and doing good. It also contains some very interesting case studies of companies helping to change the world for the better. Bethnal Green Ventures #impactinvesting #techforgood

Skyway Pacific is excited to share the success of our Emerging Managers Breakfast held last week, where three distinguished equity long/short managers took center stage. The presenting managers shared their investment strategies and how they are positioning themselves for potential market dislocations into 2025. Their views sparked lively discussions on market trends and ideas, offering participants valuable insights into Asia-based perspectives across various sectors and markets. Hosted by our CEO Marlon Sanchez, the breakfast fostered a dynamic environment for allocators and fund managers to exchange innovative strategies and explore emerging opportunities. Attendees were particularly intrigued by the insights shared during the case studies, appreciating the depth and relevance of the ideas discussed. As always, we remain committed to providing a platform that encourages meaningful dialogue and collaboration within the alternative investment community. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to this engaging event.
