What can we be doing to better unlock traditional capital toward climate innovation? This morning our managing partner Arman Anatürk hosted a panel discussion at the HackSummit with four unique perspectives to discuss the approaches to attracting more capital towards climate tech. We heard about how Government backed funds like Invest-NL (Netherlands) and DTCF | DeepTech & Climate Fonds (Germany) have successfully mobilised billions in funding towards climate, and the opportunities and hesitations that single and multi-family offices see when viewing private market climate tech as part of their overall portfolio. From different frameworks to effectively evaluating scale-up risk and different mechanisms to raise and deploy capital, to better leveraging the deep industrial knowledge from family offices to being able to spot the best managers - there's plenty more work to be done to allow us to further unlock traditional capital towards climate. Overall we leave the discussion feeling optimistic that a shift in capital allocation is underway, and the next few years will see a noticeable increase in funding towards climate solutions. Thank you to our panelists: - Elisabeth Schrey of DTCF | DeepTech & Climate Fonds - Nelson Dumas of Eltenemo SA - Bastiaan Gielink of Invest-NL - Andrea Biscia, of DECALIA #HackSummit2024 #FamilyOffice #AssetManagement #Funding #PrivateEquity #PrivateMarkets

We had a pleasure hosting the Luxembourg Venture Capital event in partnership with Tülin Tokatli, CFA and Hale Yildiz of Pitch Me First Our expert speakers covered the evolution of venture capital as an asset class over the last 10 years and the current state of venture today. The panel brought together a wide group of perspectives from the LP, GP and Founder side of the table - with thanks to our speakers: - Nicolas Perard, Senior Investment Manager at European Investment Fund (EIF) - Joel Wajsberg, CFA, Private Equity Mandate Officer at European Investment Fund (EIF) - Patrick Kersten, Founder atHomeGroup and doctena - Benjamin Tillier, Partner, Dedicated VC - Clelia Beck, Co-Founder, Cycle Group Three key takeaways : 📈 We need the pace of funding towards European venture capital to continue to grow in order to keep Europe a competitive hub for innovative companies. 💼 Institutions like EIF play a critical role in keeping the market active when other sources of funding slows, but more private capital should make its way to VC. ❌ Everyone is fundraising and everyone has dealt with rejection - wether you're the fund, founder or even the LP. Thank you to all attendees for joining us yesterday and staying late into the evening.

It was a pleasure to host the Zurich Networking Lunch yesterday together with BONART Financial Performance Ltd Thank you to our speakers who brought multiple perspectives around the topic of unlocking traditional capital towards private markets and to Ariel Barack, Director at BONART for the expert moderation.

Flury, CEO and Managaing Partner, Tavis Capital - Maddalena Orlandini, Private Markets, Kieger - Mike Baur, Co-Founder and Chairman, Swiss Ventures Group The takeaway is clear - the shift to a new generation of investors is driving private market allocation, but managers need to retool with the right insights and access - as well as flexible and tailor made structures - in order to effectively make private markets part of their investment strategies.
