Volta Ventures

Last week, we enjoyed bringing our portfolio founders together at Het West-Indisch Huis, diving deep into three founder-chosen topics. Huge thanks to: ⚡ Michael Humblet for guiding us through a whirlwind of #sales strategies. 📈 Hannes Deklerck for sharing the latest trends in the #VC landscape. 🌿 Anouar El Haji, PhD for providing valuable insights on #pricing strategies. 🏗 Ramon Schuitevoerder - Partner/MD at CFI for walking us through the #M&A and #exit market. A fantastic day filled with learning, networking, and bitterballen! CC: Sander Vonk Koen De Waele Frank Maene Mieke Verstraete Stan Jeanty

It was wonderful to reconnect with so many of our founders in person at our Amsterdam Portfolio Day @ Het West-Indisch Huis. Since the pandemic, we've adapted to a new way of working, which means we see each other far less often. Events like these remind us how much more meaningful face-to-face conversations can be. A big thank you to Michael for his always captivating talk on sales, Anouar for his valuable insights on pricing, Hannes Deklerck for stepping in with an update on the current state of VC, and Ramon for his informative discussion on the M&A and exit market. Four topics carefully chosen by our portfolio founders. #startups #amsterdam #sales #venture
