Rugged Dealmakers In Europe
We didn't make it to the recent Benelux TechTour, but we did look at the photos after VC blogger Fred Destin pointed them out.
Offroading A Minor Challenge Compared To Dealmaking In Europe For Michele Galo (pilot) and John Chapman (navigator)
Galo is an associate at Sardis, a London boutique investment bank specializing in technology deals and Chapman is a partner at TVM in Munich who's specialized in enterprise software, but also advises portfolio firms on M&A activitie.(Image source: European TechTour)
At first we thought it was a founder/VC backer team, and thought it seemed like an apt visual metaphor. Or maybe not. Who want's to be the blindfolded pilot or a navigator that's not in control.
Anyway, if nothing else we can say that the European TechTours are different than your usual pitch fests that bring together VCs, corporates, and entrepreneurs. They usually involve planes, trains, boats, and other exotic venues for the company presentations.
We hope to make it to cover the European Tech Tour that will take place in Scotland in December - and hope that there's no requirement to eat haggis and do the Lilt in a kilt.
