It has been almost 3 months, since I have decided that I will be spending more time on the topic of VC and investment, so here is a short update:
- Completed Private Equity and Venture Capital course on Coursera. I definitely recommed it to everyone, who is starting to explore the VC world, it gives most of the basic definitions and terms.
- Made my first sizable investment into a startup. That required me to learn furter things, read and correct legal documents. Now it requires me to wait without checking if I have made any money already.
- Made a number of smaller investments via online platform. Interesting experience as well, less hassle, but everything has a price.
- There is already a pipeline of next things I am going to invest into, so looking forward to it.
- Learned about UK and EU incentives for investors, see my separate blogpost on it.
- Met (virtually) a lot of new people already and looking forward to meet even more. This is a people’s business and it is exciting!
Overall I am enjoying the ride so far and if you are interested to join or just chat about it - please reach out!
