In this episode, we’re joined by Helena Prokhorenko from Highland Europe for a clear and accessible introduction to growth capital - what it is, how it works, and why it matters.
If you're new to the world of investment, this conversation is a great way to understand where growth capital fits between venture capital and private equity, and the kinds of companies it supports. Helena also sheds light on the variety of roles and career paths available in this fast-moving part of the industry.
