Today I am chatting with Max Bautin, the co-founder of IQCapital, a deep tech venture capital firm that focuses on strategy, scaling up and financings/exits. With over 15 years' venture capital experience, Max currently sits on several boards including Thought Machine, Audio Analytic, Fluidic Analytics and Spectral Edge. Not to mention the fact that he is an elected member of Invest Europe Venture Capital Council.
