Hussein Kanji: don't waste time with VCs unless you're a hyperscale startup!

The StartUp to ScaleUp Game Plan

Hussein Kanji - Hoxton Ventures co-founder - is a US-born, London-based VC who's funded scaleups like Deliveroo, Darktrace & Behavox & was named by The Daily Telegraph as Europe’s most influential technology investor!

Hussein explains why:

• Entrepreneurs should only approach VCs if they've a hyper-scale startup!
• Lack of talent with genuine scale-up credentials cripples the growth of European tech ventures
• European startups should quickly scale their sales & marketing teams in The States
• VCs, despite their high-achieving backgrounds, must learn how to be the dumbest person in the room!
• Partners at small VC firms must be prepared to tread a lonely path - they'll have negligible access to mentors & coaches
