Nima interviewed Andreas Stavropoulos, Managing Director DFJ in TechnologyinaTent. “We’re talking about unsexy spaces, then if businesses start depending upon you to run their businesses better they are happy to cut you into their profits.” “Venture capital is a set of stories, one after the other. All the way from little companies.” He spoke about the 2nd company he invested in. How can VCs add value by helping them get an office. Big lesson for him was that people can make it happen in the very worst of circumstances.
