These are the key roles of private equity and venture capital in Europe: promoting jobs and growth; promoting entrepreneurship.
First is a persistence, tenacity the company you have invested in will never meet target. It will be above target, under target, but not on target. But you will stand by your entrepreneur and what looks like a failure at the end of the day may well turn into a success if you have persistence, tenacity. It ain't over till it's over.
Teamwork is essential, essential in sharing the analysis and sharing the decision making itself to stay humble. You have a big success you think you can walk on water but your next deal may be a failure. You are just as good as the last deal you've done.
And I see two major roles. One is to promote growth and jobs in Europe. Second is to promote entrepreneurship in all segments of the economy, in administrations, policy makers everywhere.
One is through new innovations, technologies that will address the key issues of our time. Global warming of course, questions on the environment, on the energy, Health Care also where needs are enormous.
You have a good example what startups can do with coid vaccine. It's not the big farma that developed the coid vaccine, are two startups modna and bio inch. That's where the future lies.
