What makes a company truly investable? In this panel, Reshmi Buthello, Erika Enberg, Jess Blomfield and Melanie Robb bring investor and operator perspectives to the people, culture, and leadership traits that signal growth readiness. Reshmi draws from her experience with scale-ups and deep tech ventures at Main Sequence and 5B, Erika from nearly two decades guiding startups from seed to Series E, and Jess from her work with ANZ's leading startups at Airtree Ventures. Together, they’ll explore the fundamentals investors notice, the red flags they don’t ignore, and how People leaders can align talent, culture, and strategy for long-term success. This is for anyone building from the inside—and thinking like an investor.
