Junior Impact VC becomes Lateral - VivaTech edition
Junior Impact VC is relaunching as Lateral.
We started as a small group of early-career impact investors comparing notes across funds. It grew because the need was real and the field had nothing like it.
Lateral is now the horizontal axis in a vertical industry, the space that connects people across impact funds, sectors, and geographies, rather than keeping everyone cramped within their own path.
This community is for everyone in impact investing who is not yet a Partner. People who chose this industry deliberately and want to be around others who did the same.
With VivaTech bringing together people from across the European tech and investment ecosystem, it felt like the right moment to kick things off properly. Come for a drink, meet the community, and help shape what Lateral becomes.
📍 Near the VivaTech venue, Paris (exact location shared closer to the date with approved guests)
🗓️ 17 June, 17:30–19:00
🍷 Everyone covers their own drinks
