Hussein Kanji – Hoxton Ventures co-founder – is a US-born, London-based VC who’s funded scaleups like Deliveroo, Darktrace & Behavox & was named by The Daily Telegraph as Europe’s most influential technology investor!
Hussein explains why:
- Entrepreneurs should only seek VC funding if they’ve a hyper-scale startup!
- Lack of talent with genuine scale-up credentials cripples the growth of European tech ventures
- He advises his European portfolio companies to scale early in The States
- VCs, despite their high-achieving backgrounds, must learn how to be the dumbest person in the room!
- Partners at small VC firms must be prepared to tread a lonely path – they’ll have limited access to mentors & coaches
