This week’s podcast guest is Elena Pantazi, a partner at Northzone, who discusses the challenges founders have managing startups in a fluctuating industry, why the UK might not need to compare itself to Silicon Valley and how VCs can unfortunately treat male founders very differently to women.
Northzone is a multi-stage venture capital fund based in London. It has backed some of Europe’s largest tech companies, including Spotify, Klarna and Kahoot.
Pantazi talks the importance of mentorship and competing against tech giants in the war for talent.
