Ep 10 - Bo Ilsoe and Monica Johnson - Sustainability and Returns

Annika Sjöberg

In this episode, we’ve prepared an interview with Annika Sjöberg and Bo Ilsoe of NGP Capital. We talked about a new report that the Finland-born VC firm has just published, focussing on the role gender plays in a startup founder's ability to raise private capital in Europe. It turns out that if you're a woman, your chances of raising cash are extremely low.  We hope you enjoy this special format — please let us know what you think! Feel free to email us with any questions, suggestions, and opinions at podcast@tech.eu or tweet at @tech_eu and @adegeler.
