One important question that needs an answer for a multitude of reasons is a relatively simple one – what sets you apart? Do you know the answer? And if you do, are you able to explain it succinctly? One particular situation where knowing this comes in handy is when you’re off scouting for some investment.

Wouldn’t it also be useful to get an insight into what an investor looks for when they invest in entrepreneurs and companies? It’s a bit of a no-brainer really – of course it is! So, this week we have the pleasure of Nick Verkroost, Principal at DC Thomson Ventures, joining us for dinner to provide an after-dinner talk on what he looks for when he invests. Nick will also be covering the exciting new tech in the publishing sector. DC Thompson have been in the publishing game since 1886, and is one of the leading media organisations in the UK, covering everything from newspapers, magazines and books to new media, digital technology and broadcast media.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab a seat at Nick’s table, share what you are currently working on, and meet your peers over a delicious meal and a glass of wine (or two!).
Dinner is at 6:45pm on Wednesday 16 March at Aubaine, Heddon St
