The Cass Entrepreneurship Fund ran an event in January for its portfolio companies, co-investors and mentors from our newly launched mentor panel.

The night began with an introduction from Helen Reynolds, Investment Director of the Fund. This was followed by a talk from Peter Cullum on the origins of the Fund and its future ambitions. Finally, we had the privilege of hosting a fireside chat between Associate Dean of Entrepreneurship Costas Andriopoulos and mentor Chris Guillaume, former CEO of OpenGI. Chris oversaw a successful period for OpenGI over the 11 years he was CEO. The discussion ranged from M&As, MBOs and culture, to how to improve sales efficiency.

The Cass Entrepreneurship Fund team look forward to running further events in the future.
