Lois and Francesca are joined by Elena Mazhuha at Genesis Investments.
In this conversation we discuss:
- Genesis Investments’ origins, fund structure and their investment thesis.
- How Elena’s journey into VC started from attending lecture and then finding her next job through a FB post.
- Her experience of what it was like being a first employee at a VC fund and how her role evolved.
- Her experience of transitioning from a generalist to a specialist within her role and doubling down on your strengths.
- The importance of an alumni network and how to network with someone purposefully? And much more!
