This VC firm wants to fund the best night of your life

BNVC is a catalyst for the best nights that create happiness.

What is the best night of your life?  Was it summer or winter? What were you doing? Where were you? It likely involved a memorable location — new or familiar — people, and perhaps amazing food, possibly the haze of alcohol or another erm, stimulant, and/or entertainment. It probably wasn't spent alone at home on your laptop or mobile phone. 

But what will your best night look like in 2030? 

Lorrain de Silva, managing director at Best Nights VC (BNVC), believes that in 2030, nightlife won't be digital, alone at home wearing VR glasses. 

He shared:

"There can be certain events in which VR and AR are crucial, but it's not replacing night life. People should sweat; people should come together in person."

Best Nights VC (BNVC) was established in 2021 as the rebranded VC unit of Mast-Jägermeister SE,

It works to seek out startups pioneering new approaches, enhancing experiences, and enabling more social experiences for people pursuing their best nights.   It was founded in Berlin, the city with the most foreign startup founders outside of Silicon Valley. 

However, venture investment in nightlife differs from investing in a venue or club night and focuses on investment in community building.

14Peaks Raises $30 Million To Back Fintech And The Future Of Work

14Peaks’ inaugural fund has closed with $30 million raised from a combination of family offices and high-net-worth individuals. Edoardo Ermotti, the founder of this Swiss venture capital firm, sought to recruit a relatively tight circle of limited partners – a select group with relevant experience and contacts for portfolio companies as well as capital to offer. Although the fund has only formally closed this month, Ermotti has been raising money since 2022, when 14Peaks was launched, and has already added 11 companies to the portfolio. The fund’s focus is on business-to-business software providers in two verticals – financial technology (fintech) and the future of work. Early investments include a stake in Rain, the US fintech which works with employers to offer staff advances on salary for hours they have already worked, and Threatfabric, a Dutch cybersecurity specialist. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidprosser/2024/04/23/14peaks-raises-30-million-to-back-fintech-and-the-future-of-work/?sh=456b0cc592b8
