Calculated Risk 101: Becoming an LP in a Venture Fund

We are excited to invite you to join us at the Innovation Breakfast - a concept that brings together experts from a variety of fields to discuss important topics while enjoying your morning coffee. It's the perfect opportunity to expand your knowledge, network with like-minded individuals, and start your day off on an innovative note. This time, let's talk about venture capital funds.

Calculated Risk 101 is an educational event on the opportunities and benefits of becoming a limited partner in a venture capital fund or building a CVC (corporate venture capital) arm. During the event, both experienced venture capitalists and corporate LPs will share their knowledge on what venture capital is, what are the available types of involvement and the potential long-term benefits of LPs, as well as common mistakes made. On top of that, we'll look at some real-life success stories right around the corner.
