Why investors should be hands-on with their startups | Bruce Beckloff
In this episode, the fifth and final one of the season, we’re joined by co-Founder and CEO of Bloc Ventures, Bruce Beckloff. Bloc is a venture capital company that supports and helps grow the next generation of early-stage deep technology businesses across Europe.
Beckloff’s extensive tech expertise and commercial acumen have led him to own the corporate strategy for world-leading tech provider ARM and, as part of this, create their investment activity. After 12 years at ARM and other roles including Corporate VC Specialist for the UK Trade & Investment government unit, Beckloff currently helps deep tech startups align their strategies to scale commercially and quickly. He’s currently an Advisor for IoT SaaS platform EVRYTHNG and Board Observer for fintech company Yordex.
In this clip, Beckloff talks about how involved startup investors should be in the companies they choose to fund and the different approach between investors in the US and the UK.
