Tzvete Doncheva is the founder of 'Ecosystem', a project seeking to democratise access to venture capital for underestimated founders, investors and emerging fund managers.

 

Day-to-day, she works as a visiting investment analyst at supply chain-focused venture capital fund Amplifier, helping out on deal-flow activities and supporting the investment process. Previously she led the platform efforts at the London-based VC spin out of multinational real estate investment manager Round Hill Capital.

 

A core activity of her work has been identifying and assessing early-stage startups, connecting key stakeholders (VCs, entrepreneurs, corporates) and building out innovation ecosystems. Tzvete is a mentor to female founders (a non-exec trustee at Girls in Charge) and part of Shaper Impact Capital, a community-led volunteer project connecting purpose-driven companies with impact investors. 

 

We touched on a number of topics including

Creating an online community of fans for your business

How Covid has changed things in terms of what is now possible with an online community

And we also spoke a lot about getting funding for your idea or your business and how to go about it.

I know this will come in useful if you are engaging in an investment round
