alarm:clock euro puzzler winners: Lonsdale Capital's Amit R Shah and Index's Greg Marsh
This week's puzzler:
Which London-based communications-oriented VC firm is a veritable Bain & Co. dugout, with a managing partner who was a founding partner of Bain & Company in Italy? Hint: Two of its recently added investment managers were with DFJ ePlanet Ventures before joining.
The answer is TLcom Capital.
Quite a few readers wrote in with the correct answer, but Amit R. Shah who recently founded corporate finance boutique Lonsdale Capital in London and Index Ventures' Greg Marsh, also in London, sent responses quicker.
Marsh wrote that the clue was the communications specialisation and Lonsdale's Shah knew the answer because he worked with one of TLcom's partners at Bain in San Francisco before they both moved to London. Shah is also an angel investor in some well-known starutps, according to his bio on Lonsdale's website.
