Series 6 of 40 Minute Mentor might have come to a close earlier this month, but with another Series filled to the brim with advice and Scaleup insights, we thought we’d add a little something to your pre-Holiday playlist. 

In this special roundup episode, we focus on a topic we often get asked about here at JBM - VC and Fundraising. Whether you’re wondering how to get into the industry or you’re a fellow Founder about to embark on your next fundraising journey, this episode features some of the movers and shakers in VC as well as first-hand insights from industry leaders and their fundraising journeys, including: 

• Cleo Sham, a JBM SOS Board Advisor and Partner at Stride.VC 

• Dominic McGregor, Founder and Former COO of Social Chain and Founding Partner of Fearless Adventures 

• Daisy Onubogu, widely regarded as the Queen of Community, Head of Network & Community at BACKED VC and COO of Diversity VC 

• Tom Foster-Carter, Former COO of Monzo and Founder and CEO of Lollipop 

• Ben Stephenson, Founder and CEO of travel platform Impala 

• And Ham Serunjogi, the Co-Founder and CEO of Chipper Cash, our brilliant sponsors of Series 6.
