Capital Calls EP.4 — Anke Huiskes: Where Technology Meets Obsession

“Understand the technology. Find the obsession.” 🚀 In Episode 4 of Capital Calls, Anke Huiskes takes us through the path that led her from P&G and Pebble to venture capital, and eventually to co-founding NP-Hard Ventures, where she’s now Managing Partner. We talk about what she learned from building companies, why she believes founders need more than just capital, and what it actually means to build a “super team” around a company. Her investment approach is deeply technical, but also very commercial: understand the technology, find founders who are obsessed with the problem, and help them with the things that come next, from fundraising to go-to-market. We also get into sales, networking, taking risks early in your career, and why venture capital is ultimately a relationship business. 🤝 And if you’re wondering how quickly Anke can make an investment decision, her answer is simple: “Really fast.” 🚨 Episode 4 of Capital Calls with Anke Huiskes is out now. 🚨
