A few month ago I interviewed Pavlos Pavlakis, VC investor in VentureFriends In our conversation we covered some interesting topics: - There are different ways to break into VC. Find what sets you apart and leverage it! -Podcasts and newsletters from VCs, at the end of the day, it’s still about performance—finding good deals and delivering returns. - #Agritech and the shipping industry are sectors to look out for. They both have a lot of room to be digitalized. -The regulatory push for #sustainability is creating tailwinds in these sectors, and while there may be some overvaluation, I think the space will continue to grow. https://lnkd.in/dt2YcYXw
