​

Hi Reader,

For a long time venture capital was defined by access.

Access to founders.

Access to deals.

Access to capital.

Today that is changing.

Platforms, syndicates, and global investor networks have made venture investing far more accessible than it used to be.

Which raises a more interesting question.

Tomorrow we will explore exactly that in a live conversation with our partners at SeedBlink.

Andy Goldstein, Partner Europe at Venture University and General Partner at VU Venture Partners, will join Bogdan Stoian, Head of Investment Syndicates at SeedBlink. The discussion will be moderated by Ronald Rapberger, Head of DACH at SeedBlink.

At Venture University we work with investors from many different backgrounds who want to become more structured and active in venture capital. Questions around deal access, syndicates, and investor judgment come up frequently in those conversations, which is exactly why we thought this discussion would be valuable to host.

Together we will explore:

• Why the quality of capital increasingly matters more than the quantity
• What separates active investors from passive capital
• How education and syndicates complement each other in practice
• Practical ways investors can become more structured and thoughtful in their investing approach.

This session will be particularly relevant if you are:

• An angel investor looking to become more structured in venture investing
• A syndicate lead or member evaluating how to build stronger deal flow and decision processes
• A professional exploring a deeper role in venture capital

Looking forward to the conversation,

Andy & Remy Goldstein + the VU Team
