In Conversation With… Kerry Baldwin, IQ Capital & BVCA

Baldwin was recently appointed as chair of the British Private
Equity and Venture Capital Association (BVCA) until March 2022.
She has also had a long and storied career in the European
venture capital space: having started her career at BDO, she
joined Venture Technologies in 1998, investing in the first wave
of UK deep-tech companies. She then co-founded VC firm IQ Capital
in 2006 and went on to raise five funds to invest in early-stage
deep-tech opportunities in the UK.
