Can FOMO (fear of missing out) be a market opportunity? Sonia Weymuller realised many people were seeking ways to invest into tech startups and be a part of the startup buzz. Yet, there was no platform in the MENA region to do so.
Sonia Weymuller is a Co-Founder and General Partner of VentureSouq (VSQ), a MENA-based venture capital firm, and Partner Lead for the VSQ Conscious Collective, its global impact-focused investment and educational platform.
Topics we cover:
- building a venture capital firm like a startup,
- why relationships between investors and founders are like marriage,
- how to build an ideal capital table and treat your investors like a team of allies,
- why investors should create a safe space for founders to be open and vulnerable,
- how to make a choice between building a lifestyle business and a venture-backed startup.
