On October 6th and and 7th, we hosted our Second Annual General Meeting - Virtual Edition. The event was an opportunity to bring more participants together across time and space, and to harness the connective power of technology in order to create an event that was virtual yet truly engaging, entertaining and insightful.
We compiled an exciting schedule for both days, including discussion sessions with our brilliant portfolio founders around the relevant themes of our times, such as healthcare, FinTech and the promising sectors of the future. In parallel, we held a number of conversations with international speakers who shared their experiences in the fields of investment and venture capital in times of economic prosperity and in times of crisis.
Our fully-virtual 2nd AGM's success was in large part due to the participation and insights of renowned investment experts, including John Mack, Randy Komisar and Alex Rogers. Read about our speakers here.
If you've missed the AGM or would like to replay some of your favorite discussions, here is a link to each of the speaker sessions from both days. The password is: AGM2020.
