Beautiful day to be moderating a chat on Venture Capital vs. Venture Control. It’s a balance every fund has to get right so it’s super interesting to hear others thoughts on how it works in practice 👀

@triplebubble_vc has hit first close 🥳 The momentum behind this fund speaks to the size of the fintech opportunity in Aus. Featured in the AFR here afr.com/technology/cba…

Poppy is exactly that kind of addition. Many in the venture ecosystem will already know Poppy as a thoughtful connector and ecosystem builder. For those who haven’t crossed paths with her yet, prepare to see some great things happening at Euphemia in the months ahead. In her role, Poppy will work across the breadth of the Euphemia Group, including: 🟧 The Euphemia Syndicate, where we share our most exciting co-investment opportunities with our community of co-investors 🟧 @triplebubble_vc, our dedicated fintech fund backing the next generation of financial innovation 🟧 The broader Euphemia portfolio and partner ecosystem Poppy is also Sydney-based 📍 giving Euphemia stronger coverage across one of Australia’s most active startup and fintech markets. Most importantly, she’s now officially a startup-merch-t-shirt-wearing Euphemian. Which means we’re even better positioned to do what we love most... #MakeAwesomeMakeAwesome. Welcome to the team, Poppy!
