CLOSED DOOR | Aligning governance and decision-making speed in VC–CVC investments | Room 7

Mar 19, 2026 | 11:15 AM CET - 12:15 PM CET
Thursday 19th of March 2026

Description

Next March 19th, we are hosting an exclusive invitation-only workshop, dedicated to VCs and CVCs. This 1h workshop aims at debating the critical divergences between VC speed and CVC governance that often cause deeptech deals to stall. Our goal is to align decision-making processes and ensure that fundraising timelines support, rather than hinder, a startup’s strategic freedom. Join us to bridge the gap between financial agility and corporate requirements for more synchronized, high-impact investments. Organized by Bpifrance ROOM 7
