EU-Startups Podcast | Episode 120: Antonia Eneh, CEO of Wave Ventures

This week on the EU-Startups Podcast, we sat down with Antonia Eneh, CEO of Wave Ventures, a Gen Z-led VC fund that just launched Wave III: their boldest fund yet, designed to invest in the world’s most ambitious Gen Z founders, backed by the people behind Bolt, Slack, Wolt, and Supercell.

We dive deep into what makes this generation of entrepreneurs tick: their hunger for purpose, their refusal to accept the status quo, and their vision to build the world they want to live in. Antonia also pulls back the curtain on Wave Ventures’ radically personal investment model, why relationships beat ideas, how VC must evolve to reflect the diversity and creativity of a new era, and much more.

If you’re building the next big thing, or just want a window into the minds shaping tomorrow, don’t miss this one!
