Mina Mutafchieva is a VC at Dawn Capital – 1 of Europe’s largest venture capital firms who recently raised their 4th fund - a $400m fund investing in Europe’s most promising early stage B2B Saas ventures

We explored why:

Dawn Capital's #1 criteria in evaluating a CEO is "can they build a great team around them – can they inspire & attract talent they do not yet deserve?"
resilience is becoming the #1 personality trait you need as an entrepreneur
business leaders need to realise they are there to build a company & not to try to fix everything themselves
it was a “piece of cake” to raise a $400m VC fund in Europe in 2020!

We also discussed the most challenging aspects of being a VC including "you’re only as good as the entrepreneurs you invest in" and how Mina's role has expanded during the pandemic to incorporate emotional counselling
