Our Managing Partner, Michal Sikyta, recently traveled to the UK to attend London Tech Week 2026. Because this event serves as a major focal point for the European tech industry, it draws a dense crowd of founders, industry experts, and institutional investors. This makes it an ideal setting for us to evaluate current market conditions firsthand.
Making sure we are present in key regional hubs like London is a standard part of how Soulmates Ventures operates. It is the best way to keep our finger on the pulse of broader European innovation. Relying on remote updates is not enough; being physically on the ground enables us to engage in concrete, practical discussions. These interactions allow us to clearly understand both the current macroeconomic shifts and the day-to-day challenges founders are dealing with.
We want to thank the partners and new connections who took the time to sit down with Michal during the event. These in-person meetings are a vital tool for testing our investment thesis against real-world feedback and aligning with potential co-investors. Ultimately, consistent and direct engagement with the tech community is the most effective way for us to source strong investment opportunities and support the wider ecosystem.
