Ricardo Sequerra Amram⁠ takes the stage following ⁠Point Nine⁠ after Point Nine was named Firm of the Year 2025 in the sub-€200 million category at the EUVC Summit & Awards Show 2026.The award takes a holistic view of a venture firm, considering financial performance, firm building, founder and LP value creation, impact, diversity, transparency and fairness.Ricardo is a Partner at Point Nine, a thesis-driven early-stage venture firm based in Europe and investing globally. Point Nine operates as an equal partnership and has remained focused on leading pre-seed and seed rounds, with each partner making only a small number of new commitments each year.In the discussion, Ricardo explains why the firm has deliberately resisted scaling into later stages, how its thesis has evolved from B2B SaaS and marketplaces towards AI and other emerging technologies, and why staying close to what is genuinely new matters at seed.He also shares how Point Nine thinks about identifying founders before the opportunity is obvious, from the “magnetism” of people who attract talent, capital and customers to three qualities the firm looks for more deeply: insight, obsession and taste.The EUVC Summit & Awards Show returns in 2027.
