VividQ’s Aleksandra Pedraszewska will be delving into her journey as a deeptech Co-Founder in an upcoming webinar hosted by Ventures Thrive - an EU-funded pan-European venture builder for deeptech founders.

‘Founder Success Stories with VividQ Co-Founder Aleksandra Pedraszewska’ is set to address key issues Aleksandra and her team faced while scaling VividQ, including the transition from first-customers to market capture, the fundraising process at Series A and beyond, and the challenges of building and selling a cutting-edge deeptech product.

As VividQ COO, Aleksandra has helped take the company from a prototype to a 50-people strong team, with customers across the US and APAC, $25 million in equity capital, and a title of ‘Best British Technology Pioneer’.

Before joining VividQ’s founding team, she gained professional experience at Rolls-Royce, HBO, and IdeaLab Ventures - an investment fund. Currently, Aleksandra acts as a fractional COO and strategic advisor to venture studios, consulting firms, and IP-intensive companies ready for scaling-up or exit.

Her specialties include communicating deeptech products and company profiles, empowering high-performance technical and leadership teams, and implementing data-driven fundraising and M&A strategies.

‘Founder Success Stories with VividQ Co-Founder Aleksandra Pedraszewska’ will be taking place online, via Zoom, on Thursday 18th January at 16:00 CET. The event is free of charge and open to the public.
