GCV-SVB webinar: Q1 data

Picture of someone analysing data

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates

To build the new, however, requires thinking about the potential paths the future can take.

Alex McCracken, managing director for corporate partnerships at SVB’s UK operation, has reflected harder than most on how the world’s preeminent innovation economy bank understands what risks are uppermost and how to build a robust portfolio to take advantage of the bubble-like conditions while having resilience to another shock like covid-19. This is invaluable for all investors.

We are, therefore, delighted McCracken can join today’s webinar reviewing the first quarter data prepared by Kaloyan Andonov and then look ahead at the disruption to the venture model underway and further risks to everyone’s portfolios.

Clearly, venture capital is changing but already one winner has been crowned.
