Pavlos Pavlakis, VentureFriends, on the importance of the human factor in investing (S2E01)

Can investors and founders become friends? What kind of a relationship do they enter once the deal is signed? What do each side of the table expect from the other one? For this episode of the Work in Progress podcast we’ve searched for answers on the dynamics of the founder/investor relationship beyond just a transactional part. Pavlos Pavlakis, a principal for VentureFriends investment fund, gave us some pointers.

The Work in Progress podcast is a Green Start-Up and start-up.ro production focused on the investors and founders that change the startup ecosystem.

We've centered the Work in Progress podcast around two major themes, and were going to split the episodes into the Blue podcast – for start-up.ro – where we'll discuss with venture capital managers, angel investors, startup founders from Romania, Europe and around the world about their role in the ecosystem, business, trends, and the Green podcast – for Green Start-Up – where we will put a sustainability layer on our discussions and we'll approach topics relevant for impact founders as well as impact investors.
