Brightspark State of Mind - Episode 2: The ups and downs of startup investing with Sophie Forest by Brightspark Ventures published on 2018-11-14T20:58:07Z This episode deals with what we affectionately call the “teenage years” of VC investments. Startups are a roller coaster ride and sometimes, it can look ugly. To help investors navigate through this period of change and uncertainty, we asked Sophie Forest to discuss what startups are dealing with during these years. Being an entrepreneur herself and having managed more than 50 investments in technology companies, Sophie knows what the journey entails for those investing in startups. As one of Brightspark’s managing partners since 2003, she works closely with companies to help grow them to their full potential and offers an insider look on many of our investments, such as Hopper.
