Time To Build – The Venture City’s Founder & CEO Laura González-Estéfani

How do you scan for future growth? Is now the time to build? Where is VentureCapital heading (based on their Q1 2023 VC Benchmark report) and what does that mean for founders and corporations partnering with startups? We ask Laura who is the Founder & CEO of The Venture City and is also the General Partner of their Fund with over $145M under management. They have invested in over 100 seed to Series A startups across 14 countries. Her team is made up of founders who have been in the trenches and now not only deploy capital but help their startups build by focusing on data and execution. Laura was the first employee of Facebook in Spain and later led the Growth, Mobile & Partnerships team in Latin America for 9 years. Before Facebook she held management roles at eBay, Siemens and Ogilvy Group as well as being a founder herself.
