    VC | E512 | Riding First Tracks: Circularity, Purpose & Leading Beyond Hierarchy
    Jul 4 2025
    Welcome to a new episode of the EUVC Podcast, where we bring you the people and perspectives shaping European venture.

    This week, Andreas is joined by Oliver Brunschwiler, purpose-driven entrepreneur, former pro snowboarder, and longtime systems thinker, along with Enrique Molina from Chi Impact Capital, co-hosting this deep dive into what it means to lead with purpose, design for circularity, and build organizations that reinvent themselves from the inside out.

    Oliver’s journey goes from first tracks on fresh powder to first tracks in organizational design—helping companies ditch rigid hierarchies for role-based, purpose-led systems. Enrique brings the investor lens, showing how these principles translate into impact capital and portfolio building today.

    In this episode, they break down how circularity is moving from hype to hard reality, why trust and leadership still matter in the most “self-organizing” teams, and how the best founders navigate the tension between market dips and mission-driven staying power.

    This Episode’s Themes:
    • Holacracy, role-based teams & why leadership still matters
    • Circularity’s gap phase—and what’s quietly thriving
    • Industrial impact: batteries, PET, and supply chains redesigned
    • Policy tailwinds: how the EU is making circular the new norm

    • 12:00 | Purpose is boss: role-based systems done right
    • 15:00 | AI, agents & managing the unmanageable—what changes, what doesn’t
    • 19:00 | When people don’t want ownership—why clear leadership stays vital
    • 20:00 | Circularity: beyond the hype cycle and into tough reality
    • 24:00 | Surviving the stock dip: founders reconciling mission and market
    • 28:00 | Industrial scale impact: batteries, chemical recycling & what’s next

    VC | E511 | EUVC Summit: Lessons from Building Index with Bernard Dalle & Thomas Kristensen, LGT Capital Partners
    Jul 3 2025
    At the EUVC Summit, Bernard Dalle (formerly of Index Ventures) and Thomas Kristensen (LGT Capital Partners) shared candid reflections on how to build a venture firm from the inside out. Instead of fixating on star hires and grand strategies, their talk emphasized the compounding power of cultural alignment, junior talent development, and early operational investment.

    Drawing on first-hand experience, they unpack what it takes to build enduring institutions—where team, trust, and time matter more than titles.

    Whether you're raising your first fund or scaling your platform team, this conversation offers timeless lessons from one of Europe’s most respected firms.

    Here’s what’s covered:
    • 00:45 Betting on People: Why hiring for cultural fit beats chasing CVs
    • 02:20 Long-Term Talent Playbooks: Junior hires, long runway, big impact
    • 03:50 Under-hiring on Purpose: Why Index rarely hired GPs straight out
    • 05:10 The Operations Edge: Building support teams early pays dividends
    • 07:00 The Index Blueprint: Early days with David, Pascal, and a deep ops bench
    • 08:30 Institutional Memory: Capturing partner insights across the portfolio
