The autumn season has started off at a fast pace with our VC funds' networking tour in the US as well as a number of fundraising news and exciting deals. We are very proud to present already the third episode of our LP Insights podcast, where we meet Staffan Jåfs, the Head of Private Equity at eQ Plc. 

It was great to see so many of you participating in our September seminar, which focused on defense and investments topic and we're looking forward to meeting and discussing the impact investing scene with you at our next seminar, taking place on October 19th, just one day before the Angel Summit, organized by our dear friends from EstBAN.
