On 23 October, we hosted an intimate evening at our London office bringing together early and late stage VCs from our network in the cleantech space for a relaxed and engaging event. The aim was simple: to create space for meaningful conversations and strengthen relationships.
Guests were treated to a curated selection of wines from small, family-run Italian wineries, each bottle introduced with engaging stories and expert presentation. For those seeking non-alcoholic options, we offered a tasting experience of artisanal grape juices, a serious alternative that proved just as popular.
The Italian nibbles paired beautifully with the drinks, and the stunning sunset views over London provided the perfect backdrop for relaxed networking. The response was overwhelmingly positive, showing just how much appetite there is for opportunities like this.
We would like to thank those who attended, contributing to a lively and rewarding evening.
