2021-08-25 10:15:44 Dear friends,
I have follow ups after our IESE Meetup at 18/08 about ‘Era of Marketplaces’.

We had 25 participants in offline mode.
It was very interesting to know how marketplaces work, and how they give us opportunities for launching own reseller business in easy way.

We have made a video record of meetup, which is available for all of you:

By @Elena_LBS_A

At war with investors? What does a founder need to know about VCs‘ business objectives and risk appetite?

We conduct the panel, during which Alexey Alexanov, General Partner, Cabra VC
Oscar Ramos, Partner & Managing Director of Chinaccelerator
Tobias Bauer, Principal, Blockchain Founders Fund
Aman Ghei, Partner, Finch Capital
Christian Cameir, Managing Partner, Sustany Capital
will share their thoughts on the below topics:

Why do conflicts of VCs and founders arise? How can VCs and founders' interests misalign after fundraising?
One bid for a founder instead of a portfolio of companies for VCs. How does it make a difference?
Great home runs instead of nice small returns: why VCs may not accept a sweet but small strategic buyer
Write off or not write off: when the decision about writing off the company is taken.
What if VC has a competitor in the portfolio?
Should conflicts be managed?
Can both sides turn a conflict into a win-win?
If conflict isn't handled: an opportunity cost
Real life cases when the founders and VCs may have different views and how they were solved.

Place and date: 26 August, 11 a.m. EST (New York), 5 p.m. CET (Europe) Zoom.

We charge a symbolic amount to make sure you appreciate the material. Works for us!
