*) includes investment advised by Endeavour, Vision & Genevest
partner of the European Tech Tour "Endeavour Vision is a different type of VC. Once my company was funded by Vision, we immediately became part of a great network and had the support of a wide range of people within their extensive reach, including the European Tech Tour. I always felt that they had a strong ethos, capable of working with their entrepreneurs through good times and bad."
