Helena Torras: Bridges to the Future

Episode Summary

One way to redesign is to be the bridge: between past and future, between what is and wants to be, between people and ideas, between entrepreneurs and money. In this episode, we go deep with Helena Torras about innovation, future thinking, and changing power structures. We also talk about the role of startups, women and capital, as a unique access point towards new possibilities to change the usual patterns and bring in a different future. Join Helena, a connector of connectors and myself in uncovering how you can be a bridge to bring the future forward. Helena is the Managing Partner at Pao Capital, where she promotes the tech-startup mindset and women entrepreneurship. She is always connecting the dots between the ecosystem, startups, corporates and investors. She has been selected as one of the top 100 women leaders in Spain and one of the top 30 people to follow on the tech ecosystem on Twitter; Helena is the “in the know” person who constantly connects people and ideas. She also serves as an independent board director of several organisations, such as Barcelona Tech City. Her passion for tech startups led her to become an investor. To create further change in the ecosystem, she has recently co-founded WeRock Capital to boost investment in women-led tech startups and close the gap between tech and the traditional world.
