It's been an eventful first quarter of the new decade to say the least. Most recently, it is clear that the Covid-19 crisis is going to have a big impact on the global economy. We are almost certainly heading for a slowdown. What does this all mean for entrepreneurs in the European tech scene – will all funding rounds come to a halt? What kinds of conversations will VCs be having with their own investors – and what questions should startups be asking VCs? Maija Palmer from FT-backed tech media Sifted is joined in the (remote) studio with your hosts, serial investors Ashley Lundström from EQT Ventures, Jimmy Fussing Nielsen from Heartcore Capital, and Ilkka Kivimäki from Maki.vc.
