The echoes of May are still shaping Europe’s venture future. The EUVC Summit wasn’t just an event—it was a catalyst for change. And as we roll out more conversations from that stage, what strikes us is how urgent those messages still feel. Joe Schorge’s orchard metaphor for secondaries, Kerry Baldwin’s trillion-pound pension challenge, and SV Health’s exit of the year weren’t one-off soundbites. They were signposts for where European venture goes next.
EUVC Summit 2025 | Hampus Jakobsson, Pale Blue Dot: Impact Leader of the Year
At the EUVC Summit 2025, the “Impact Leader of the Year” award went to a voice that’s impossible to ignore—and equally impossible to copy. Hampus Jakobsson, General Partner at Pale Blue Dot, was honored for his relentless push to bring urgency, clarity, and conviction to climate investing. The award, presented by Google Cloud, recognized not just a fund or a firm, but a force in the ecosystem—someone who has helped reshape the narrative on impact itself.
EUVC Summit 2025 | Hampus Jakobsson, Pale Blue Dot & Romain Diaz, Satgana | ESG, CSR, DEI — Where Do the Acronyms Go?
When Hampus Jakobsson and Romain Diaz took the stage at EUVC Summit 2025, the conversation wasn’t about convincing people that climate matters. That part’s done. This was about the harder bit: → How do we fund the climate transition without compromising ambition? → How do we handle LPs who see impact as indulgence, or carbon reporting as box-ticking? → And how do we build conviction-led portfolios in a world that wants both velocity and virtue?
EUVC Summit 2025 | The Next Generation of European VC Franchises | Christian Meermann, Cherry Ventures & Elsa Deseilligny, Cambridge Associates
At the EUVC Summit 2025, Cherry Ventures’ Christianand Elsa Deseilligny from Cambridge Associates offered a behind-the-scenes view of what it takes to stay true to your mission while building a firm that lasts. At the center of it all? The founder. For Cherry, “Founders First” isn’t just a slogan. It’s a system. “Putting the founder at the center—doing everything to make them thrive—that’s the foundation of how we build.” – Elsa That principle doesn’t stop at deal selection or portfolio support.
EUVC Summit 2025 | Europe is Not Monolithic | Mehmet Atici | Bek Ventures
At the EUVC Summit 2025, Mehmet Atici from Bek Ventures aimed a popular narrative—that Europe is underperforming as a tech region. Not because it’s untrue, but because it’s incomplete. “Yes, there’s catching up to do. But you can’t argue there’s no dynamism in Europe—it’s just not evenly distributed.” And once you look closer, the picture changes fast. Much of the “Europe must act” discourse comes from the continent’s largest economies—France, Germany, and the UK.
EUVC Summit 2025 | Exit of the Year: SV Health’s EyeBio Breakthrough
At this year’s EUVC Summit Awards, the “Exit of the Year” category drew intense debate—and for good reason. Europe is finally entering its outcome era, and this year brought no shortage of competitive contenders. But one exit stood out. Winner: SV Health Investors, for the exit of EyeBio As the host reminded us, this award isn’t just about a number on a term sheet: “With exits, we’re celebrating outcomes.
EUVC Summit 2025 | Joe Schorge of Isomer Capital: Secondaries, Fruit, and the Future of European Liquidity
At EUVC Summit 2025, Joe Schorge of Isomer Capital didn’t come with slides—he came with a metaphor. And it stuck. He asked the room to imagine orchards of fruit. Not just apples or oranges, but a whole harvest cultivated over 12 to 14 years. Venture-backed companies. GPs. Fund positions. GP stakes. A record crop, grown with care across the UK and Europe. “We’ve never had this much high-quality fruit in European venture.
EUVC Summit 2025 | Stephen Lowery | HSBC Innovation Banking: Financing the Future: Tools We Don’t Have (Yet)
At the EUVC Summit 2025, Stephen Lowery of HSBC Innovation Banking laid out a vision that wasn’t just about capital—it was about building the infrastructure to unlock the next wave of innovation. “The future is not going to finance itself.” And the tools we need? Most of them don’t exist yet. We’re entering a new era—one where emerging categories like robotics, deeptech, AI hardware, and compute-intensive models demand new forms of financial support.
Can a UK-based consumer healthtech conquer the globe?
Exceptional product design and deep user trust are foundational to scaling globally. A strong narrativeâespecially to investorsâis nearly as important as product-market fit. Multiple financial paths exist: while venture capital boosts network and scale, bootstrapping or non-dilutive funding remain viable. The UK is well-positioned to produce global consumer healthtech leaders.
EUVC Summit 2025 | From Crisis to Clarity: Leading Through the Fog with Shmuel Chafets
At this year’s EUVC Summit, Shmuel Chafets (Target Global) stood on stage and chose honesty. Despite knowing the cameras were rolling, he didn’t dodge complexity—he met it head-on. His message? Venture doesn’t exist in a vacuum. And leadership is most real when things go off script. Referencing the now well-known video intro, Shmuel didn’t shy away from acknowledging the past: “It wasn’t that long ago that everything changed.
