Inside the Mind of a Silicon Valley VC

Silicon Valley seems to exist in a reality all its own, why is this ?
About this event
Silicon Valley seems to exist in a reality all its own. Eccentric personalities and obscene valuations seem par for the course, but is there a method to the US madness?



Join Chris Neumann, CEO and Founder of San Francisco-based Commonwealth Ventures, as he peels back the curtains on the world’s most influential funding ecosystem. Chris will provide an introduction to the US investor landscape, share some of the reasons why fundraising in the US is different from in the UK, and give an overview of the upcoming Barclays Global Connect programme: Raising in Silicon Valley.
