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)?
