?? ?????????? ???????? ????????-????: ????????’???? ???????? ???? ??????????! ?? Once again, Slush has brought together the most influential crowd in the global startup ecosystem, hosting the largest gathering of VCs on the planet. With 13,000 of the brightest minds, 5,500 founders and operators, and $4 trillion of AUM under one roof, this year was nothing short of incredible. With a warm welcome from Slush CEO Aino Bergius, Slush President Elin D?lker, followed by Finland’s President Alexander Stubb, this year’s event centered around the theme: Metamorphosis and shaping the future of tech. We are in an exciting era of rapid evolution in the venture space. With private markets poised for massive growth, the opportunities are endless, but challenges persist. Slush challenged us with a clear message: the decisions we make today will drive the next era of tech innovation. Here are some key takeaways from our favorite sessions: Fireside Chat: Maria Raga & Fredrik Cassel ?(Partner and GP, Creandum) A remarkable deep-dive into Etsy’s $1.6bn acquisition of Depop, which returned Creandum’s fund with a remarkable 20+x return. ?? Timing is everything: Don’t reveal your cards to the board too early. Create leverage by not needing—or necessarily wanting—to sell. Optionality, including preparing for an IPO scenario, is key. ?? Companies should be bought, not sold: Focus on building an exceptional business, and the right exit options will naturally follow. ?? A strong board is invaluable: Invest in great advisors and lawyers. Their guidance is worth every penny. Off-the-Record Chat: Nik Storonsky (CEO, Revolut) & Martin Mignot (Partner, Index Ventures) An exclusive behind-the-scenes discussion, attended by our Co-Founder Enrico Ohnemüller, diving deeper into Revolut’s extraordinary success story. ?? Execution beats strategy every time: Focus on doing, not just planning. ?? Quantify everything: Measure performance across individuals, teams, and the company using data and predictive algorithms to make decisions. ?? Don’t rush market expansions—take the time to evaluate regulations and product-market fit. Keynote: Chris Malachowsky (Co-Founder, NVIDIA) ?? Bias toward action: Don’t wait to perfect ideas—get them out there. ?? Learn across disciplines: Building a successful team is a collaborative, multi-disciplinary effort. Keynote: Sophia Bendz (GP, Cherry Ventures) ?? Build genuine relationships: Create meaningful connections with founders, even within short timeframes. ?? Embrace curiosity: Success isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about knowing how to learn what you don’t know. Thank you, Helsinki. Thank you, Slush! See you next year! ? #Slush2024 #VentureCapital #PrivateMarkets #Innovation #FutureOfTech

Today, we are very excited to spotlight Kensho VC! We had the pleasure of being a part of their journey from idea to closing, and are proud to power their fund on bunch! Kensho is a deeptech fund investing in AI within underserved industries, computation and data, as well as cybersecurity and defense, primarily in Europe but also beyond. The fund was set up by Wolfgang Sachsenhofer, PhD and David Skigin in 2024, facilitated by bunch. When Wolfgang and David approached us with the idea to start their first fund, they were looking for a “fund-in-a-box” solution. We were able to leverage our best-in-class partnership network to connect them with the right legal partners for their fund setup and BaFin registration. Through bunch, Kensho’s operations and administration are now set up efficiently – both operationally and financially – allowing them to operate a lean fund. We really appreciate Kensho’s trust in bunch for their fund operations and look forward to a continued successful partnership! #FundAdministration #buildonbunch
