Marius Weber, Founding Partner, and Jocke Martelius, Investment Solutions Manager of Alpha Q Venture Capital sits down with David Weisburd to discuss the comparison between US and European VC markets, strategies for conducting due diligence on emerging VC funds, and the impact of political and economic factors on European VC.

Key Points

  • European startups raising seed funding have the same probability of reaching unicorn status as their US counterparts, highlighting significant investment potential in Europe.
  • Building a successful VC fund requires understanding that it is akin to building a company, with team dynamics and long-term commitment being crucial to success.
  • AQVC's approach aims to democratize venture capital by making it more accessible to high net worth individuals and family offices, addressing transparency and liquidity issues in the process.
