    VC | E519 | Building Europe's Corporate VC Playbook (episode with Francesco Di Lorenzo)
    Jul 11 2025
    Welcome to a new episode of the EUVC Podcast, where we bring you the people and perspectives shaping European venture.

    This time, we flip the mic: Jeppe Høier, normally the host, steps into the hot seat in a conversation with Francesco Di Lorenzo, Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at CBS and an expert on entrepreneurial and innovation strategy.

    In this episode, you’ll get the full backstory on Jeppe—from PwC to CFO at a pan-European fund, Heartcore Capital, to building Maersk’s CVC arm, and now shaping Europe’s corporate VC landscape through the EU CVC podcast, newsletter, and summit.

    They dive deep into how corporate venture works (and fails), why the immune system metaphor holds true, and what’s needed to build an ecosystem across Europe that actually delivers.

    • From finance to strategy: Jeppe’s journey into venture
    • Why CVC is more organ transplant than M&A
    • How to survive 3 CEOs—and why you must
    • Fund of funds vs. direct investing: what’s trending in corporate venture

    VC | E518 | Julia Binder, Manuel Braun & Enrique Molina on Circularity as Strategy, Not Sustainability
    Jul 10 2025
    In this episode, Andreas Munk Holm sits down with Julia Binder (IMD), Manuel Braun (Impact Hub), and Enrique Molina (CircularCo) to unpack the evolving world of circular venture. They dive into why circularity should be viewed as a horizontal investment lens — not a niche — and how startups across materials, manufacturing, and infrastructure are already proving out scalable models.

    From textile dyeing to resale logistics and digital product passports, the group highlights how circularity intersects with every vertical and why now is the time for more GPs and LPs to get involved.

    Here’s what’s covered:
    • 00:50 – “We don’t invest in dumb things”: The Pale Blue Dot mindset
    • 02:30 – Why current supply chains reward harm — and how venture can reverse it
    • 04:30 – Startups vs. corporates: Who’s best positioned to drive change?
    • 07:40 – 5 monetizable circular business model archetypes
    • 12:10 – What infra is needed to scale circularity?
    • 15:00 – Real-world startups & back-end enablers in resale, reuse & track-and-trace
    • 18:00 – Circularity: Horizontal lens or vertical category?
    • 23:00 – Where capital is flowing: Startups, funds & LPs getting serious
    • 26:00 – Hype cycles: AI ascendant, circularity under the radar
    • 28:00 – Building ecosystems: Infrastructure, co-opetition, and collective voice
    • 31:00 – Final call: Why everyone — from founders to family offices — must engage
