From Operator To VC – Busting Industry Myths with Rosie Barnett, Principal at Delin Ventures

“You can still have an incredibly successful business, without it being a triple decker Unicorn.” 

This week we’re launching another series of our popular VC feature, where we’re joined by the biggest movers and shakers in the industry, sharing exclusive market insights, mentorship for anyone looking to get into VC and guidance for any Founders currently fundraising. 

Alongside our Wednesday episodes, we are also launching four bite-sized episodes on Monday, taking a deep dive into one of the biggest trends we’ve seen in VC – Operators becoming Investors. 

To bring this to life, we’re joined by Rosie Barnett, Principal at Delin Ventures

In today’s episode, we dive into Rosie’s background as a Physician, why she decided to move into VC and she busts some very common industry myths.
