Speaking Session

How do you get the best out of founders?

Great investors don’t just provide capital, they help founders perform at their highest level. This session explores how investors motivate without overwhelming, support through moments of underperformance, and step in when things start to go wrong. Drawing on different styles and experiences, the conversation focuses on what actually helps founders build, adapt and succeed under pressure.
