ASTP Venture Capital Course in Portugal

October 16, 2025

Foresight CEO Arendt Speser recently attended ASTP’s “Effectively Navigating Venture Capital” course in Faro, Portugal (October 8–10). The program, led by experienced VC fund managers, provided practical insights into what investors look for, how to approach deal flow, and how to manage key aspects such as due diligence, term sheets, and cap tables.

Participation in this training strengthened Foresight’s connection with Europe’s knowledge transfer community and reaffirmed our commitment to supporting ventures as they scale and seek investment.
