We're exploring the Future of Venture Capital in Europe, live at Slush!
We speak to leading venture capital investors and record their insights for the At The Money podcast during Slush.
In this podcast episode, we had the pleasure to speak with Inka Mero, founder & managing partner at Voima Ventures. Voima Ventures is a Finland-based €40M truly deep tech fund launched in the spring 2019.
Prior to Voima Ventures, Inka has been active as angel investor and VC, and has co-founded no less than 7 companies.
In this conversation we discuss (among other topics) why deep tech often is called 'tough tech', why we need deep tech to solve global problems, the next generation of entrepreneur-driven venture capital and diversity of talents and teams.
Enjoy!
