VNTR Investor Breakfast London
About
Investing in SUPERIOR Companies: Breakfast with Chris Birrell
Approved Investors Only · Limited to 20 seats
Software is being rewritten. As AI agents start choosing, buying and using software on our behalf, many of today's winners won't survive - and new ones are being built right now. How do you tell which is which before you invest?
Chris Birrell has seen this from the inside. A software engineer turned operator, he spent 20+ years in leadership roles at software companies across Asia-Pacific, through four exits worth over $6B combined - including Blue Coat Systems, where as CIO he saw revenue grow from $400M to over $1B before its $4.65B acquisition by Symantec. Today he is Founder and Managing Partner of Func Ventures, a 20...56 Club member and author of Investing in SUPERIOR Companies.
Over breakfast, Chris will walk through his SUPERIOR framework - 8 lenses and 40 data points he applies to every deal - and share where he sees software value moving as machines, not only people, become the customers.
"Instinct is a starting point, not a process."
Every guest receives a signed copy of the book.
