Unlocking Success in Tech Investments
Insights from Yannick Oswald, Partner Mangrove Capital VC and Blogger
“A consistent and focused strategy across vintages in Venture Capital is all that matters to win” Yannick Oswald, Partner Mangrove and Blogger.
As we head into the summer, the technology sector finds itself in a prolonged 18-month crisis of confidence. Despite large public technology stocks rebounding significantly during the semester, none of this optimism has yet to flow to small/mid-cap public stocks and privately held tech companies. Add to this the madness surrounding the latest hype called Artificial Intelligence or ‘AI’, and the picture is even more blurry…
But, there is no room for long-term pessimism. The tech and Internet sectors will continue to dominate innovation capital for the decade to come and drive outsized returns. As history teaches us: Previous market downturns have rewarded those who were actively involved but acted smartly.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain some insights into the innings of investing in tech companies, how to confront and win in the current market turmoil, and the broader trends in the world of technology.
A conference hosted and moderated by Juan Bourgois, Co-Founder & Co-CEO at Jobgether.

Juan Bourgois
After studying at a business school in Belgium, Juan Bourgois began his career at the age of 22 in a large CAC40 group. At the age of 26, he was promoted to Finance Director of International Development and participated in the opening of a dozen subsidiaries and managed various acquisition projects around the world (Israel, Russia, Panama, Portugal, Sweden, etc.). At the age of 29, he moved to Colombia for two years to restructure a subsidiary in difficulty. Then, from London, he took over the European financial management of one of the Group’s BUs. After a fast-paced career, he resigned at 34, during the first wave of Covid-19, to become an entrepreneur.
Jobgether was “born and raised” during Covid times based on the strong belief that the future of work will be flexible and the observation that the future is actually happening now. The initial motivation for launching Jobgether was to help everyone find the perfect job without effort. Month after month, they realised that flexibility was becoming the most important component of job matching for white collars talents.
For us, flexibility can be split into 3 dimensions: I decide where (location), when (hours) and how (type of contract/relationship with employer) to work. Jobgether focus on what they believe is the biggest revolution in the labour market since the industrial revolution: the move to flexible and remote jobs.
