Impact Night with Andrew Gray, General Partner at Tilia Impact Ventures
Have you ever wondered what goes on inside the mind of an impact investor? What do they look for? How do they decide which startups to back?
At this Impact Night, we will sit down for an open and honest conversation with Andrew Gray, General Partner at Tilia Impact Ventures, one of the leading impact investment funds in the Czech Republic and Central and Eastern Europe.
Andrew has been on both sides of the table. First as a startup operator, growing a digital voting company from scratch to $2M ARR. Later as an investor, backing companies like Biocraft, a cultivated meat ingredient producer, THE NOLD, a second-hand fashion marketplace, Arbonics, a forestry carbon credit platform, and Delta Green, an energy flexibility aggregator. Along the way, he has worked with startups across New Zealand, Ghana, India, the UK, and Central Europe.
What will we talk about?
💡 What investors really think when looking at a startup pitch
💡 The human side of raising money and what makes investors say "yes" or "not yet"
💡 Lessons from Andrew’s journey across multiple countries and startup ecosystems
💡 How impact investing works and what makes a business truly impactful
