'No one can blame you for backing Sequoia': It's a rough time to be raising as a solo venture capitalist in Europe - Business Insider

Typically, venture-capital funds are run by multiple general partners covering several areas of expertise. They raise funds in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, usually from the partners themselves and limited partners, or LPs, who might include wealthy individuals and pension funds.

Greece Is Making a Killing Selling Ships to Russia - Foreign Policy

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Greece’s mighty shipping sector has continued to earn good money shipping Russian oil. But Greek shipowners have discovered an apparently even more lucrative source of revenue: selling the ships themselves to mysterious buyers linked to Russia. One publication has declared that a “Great Greek Tanker Sale” is taking place, and no price seems too high for a secondhand tanker. But the formerly Greek ships are entering a Hades-like shadow economy.

Greek companies don’t rule many sectors of the globalized economy, but they certainly dominate shipping. Last year, the country was once again the world’s largest shipowner by deadweight tonnage.
