8th Runway Series Originals. It is even more palpable that
students & young professionals question the real influence
they could have on business operations, from a strategy,
execution &impact standpoint.


So how could such emerging talents & mission-driven fresh
graduates get together to respectfully foster innovation &
diversity with a deep entrepreneurial mindset and become
prominent actors of change?


In this first episode for 2020 of #RunwaySeries, the #podcast by
UPComingVC, we welcome Floris Kibedi Varga who drives us into the
heart of ASIF Ventures, a EUR 1 million student run venture fund
based in Amsterdam where Floris is Director.


Namely:


- How the set-up of ASIF Ventures differs from other student run
venture capital funds


- How the ASIF team is building a Community of entrepreneurs
through educational events & operational support, on top of
bringing capital


- The trends in the tech ecosystem in Amsterdam


- What is needed to spur such student-led venture initiatives
elsewhere


Enjoy!
