A huge thank you to Bernice Brooks, Associate at Guinness Ventures, for sharing her incredible journey and insights on "Building a Career in VC" with the students of the Angels Den Academy VC Analyst Program Cohort-II. 🙏 From intern to analyst to associate, Bernice's story is a true testament to hard work, dedication, and continuous learning in the venture capital space. 🚀 Her energy, passion, and deep understanding of the industry were not only inspiring but also incredibly motivating for everyone in the room. 💡 She encouraged the students to keep pushing boundaries, embrace the challenges, and most importantly, believe in themselves as they embark on their own VC careers. We’re all excited to see what the future holds for this next generation of venture capitalists! 🌟 #VentureCapital #CareerInVC #VCJourney #WomenInVC #AngelInvesting #VCAnalyst #Startups #Innovation #Leadership #GuinnessFunds #AngelsDenAcademy #NextGenVC

🌟 Health & AI Roundtable 🌟   We were delighted to host a conversational Health & AI Roundtable this morning organised by Joe Staunton, spotlighting investee company Qureight and joined by innovative founders from Perci Health, Kanjo Health, and CareMatch Ltd, alongside friends from Ascension, Calculus Capital, Foresight Group, and experts from UCL and Marakon.   Along with the croissants, fascinating and valuable insights were shared by CEO and Co-Founder Muhunthan Thillai. He talked not only about the opportunity to improve clinical trial process and why this is important for big brand clients (such as AstraZeneca), but also gave more personal insights into Qureight's fundraising journey and the importance of building a strong team (particularly a strong CFO) as the business is continues to expand.   Key discussions centred on: 🔹 The revolutionary potential of AI to enhance efficiency and accuracy in healthcare; recognising we’re still early in the journey—a world of opportunity awaits. 🔹 The need to bridge the critical communication gap between frontline care and hospital systems. 🔹 The race to collect and own unique datasets—the key to unlocking future breakthroughs. 🔹 The intricacies of doing business with the NHS whilst it is under pressure to centralise decision making.   The exchange of ideas between founders, investors, and experts has left us energised and inspired. The future of healthcare, powered by AI, is full of promise. 🚀   #AI #HealthTech #Innovation #VentureCapital #GuinnessVentures #Capitalatrisk #Qureight
