Last night I attended the Young Person networking event hosted by the BVCA (British Venture Capital Association). Lots of young people, but none of them in Venture. Every single person that I spoke to, except Stephen Wilson from Unilever Ventures, was with Private Equity/Buy-out Funds.
I know the BVCA get tired of me complaining about the same thing every time: where are the VCs and why are you not called the BPEA (British Private Equity Association)?
If you’re under 35 and working in VC in the UK, drop me a line at techbytes [at] mac [dot] com and we’ll set up our own networking event.

Jason the young & happening venture capitalists were working!
Working the crowd for deal flow and syndication partners?
Anyway, we all know the really cool kids were all out starting their own companies…
Great idea Jason…and not a moment too soon. p.s. presume you are aware of the Young VCs network (not sure of the exact name)?
