Register to hear from three of the most active CVC funds during the COVID pandemic on how their team has been sourcing deals in this new world.
The game has well and truly changed. Summer of 2020 included Zoom calls all day in your sweatpants, no serendipitous run in's with founders at conferences, no F2F meetings and plenty of bread making at home.
