Podcast: In conversation with… Kerry Baldwin, IQ Capital & BVCA

Baldwin was recently appointed as chair of the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (BVCA) until March 2022. She has also had a long and storied career in the European venture capital space: having started her career at BDO, she joined Venture Technologies in 1998, investing in the first wave of UK deep-tech companies. She then co-founded VC firm IQ Capital in 2006 and went on to raise five funds to invest in early-stage deep-tech opportunities in the UK.

In this special episode of the podcast, Baldwin discusses her priorities for the year ahead, the buoyant environment for venture, how to improve PE's public image, and more.
