How to make partner in less than three years: Cherry Ventures' Dinika Mahtani
Today on Startup Europe — the Sifted Podcast, Amy is joined by Dinika Mahtani, London-based partner at European early-stage VC Cherry Ventures.
Dinika explains why she thinks deeptech is 'back', why Europe is having a moment — and what impact tariff turmoil is having on her portfolio companies.
She also shares how she made the jump from general manager at Uber to angel investing and then VC — and talks us through how she ensured she made partner within just three years of joining Cherry Ventures.
All of that, plus who Dinika would swap places with for a day and the most valuable piece of advice she's been given in her career to date.
