Overview

This is the first event of the BVCA VC CFO Network, a new engagement series for senior finance and operations professionals from UK venture capital firms. The aim is to provide a forum to discuss the latest issues impacting CFOs, COOs and finance teams working in VC, as well as an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience. 

At the launch event we will hear from a range of experts on how the VC industry is preparing for the future, with a focus on the latest operational, technical, and technology changes. We’ll also delve into the latest tax, legal and regulatory developments across every stage of the VC sector.  

Please note that this is an invitation-only event and for GPs only. For further information please contact Chris Elphick.
