Description
As Europe's startup ecosystem becomes increasingly interconnected, angel investors have more opportunities than ever to invest beyond their home markets. But does investing across borders lead to better opportunities, stronger portfolio diversification, and higher returns or does it simply introduce more complexity and risk? In this session we are discussing with BAN's around Europe to see how they manage their cross border collaborations and the difficulties that come with investing in other countries.
