What's happening?

VCs are still adjusting to a new world after an unprecedented bull market. But does the fall in global funding signal the end of the era of overvaluations and easy money? And is this the recalibration the venture capital scene needs? Expect brutally honest industry analysis from the world’s top investors.

A changing VC landscape

What does the next decade hold for VC funding? A drive for diversity, sustainability and being socially responsible means the individuals and companies investing &#8211; and being invested in &#8211; are rapidly changing. We hear from leading voices on how these emerging trends are shaping the founder-investor dynamic.

Rewriting the venture playbook

Top investors reveal why they choose to invest, discussing their red flags, the product v people debate, and the growth models that win them over. Hear all the tips and tricks that you need in order to make that winning pitch.

Getting to ‘yes’

Meanwhile, SaaS and fintech stocks remain way off their 2021 highs, while crypto remains fraught with high-profile scams. So which industries will see the most activity in 2024? And which ones might just fade into obscurity?
