VHV Q2 2026 Team Meeting – AI, Growth & Building for the Future
In June, our team came together in Dublin for our quarterly strategy meeting—a valuable opportunity to review the first six months of the year, challenge our thinking, exchange ideas, and align on our priorities for the second half of 2026.
Q2 is in the books, and what a great way to close the first half of 2026 at VAN HAL Ventures.
Our portfolio companies continue to make strong progress, each at its own pace and stage of growth. As long-term investors and company builders, we understand that every venture follows a different trajectory. Despite ongoing economic headwinds and a challenging global market environment, we are pleased with the resilience, execution, and positive development across our portfolio.
A major focus of this quarter was leveraging AI to improve our own operations. Together, we reviewed our Q1 marketing and sales performance, explored how AI can further optimize our marketing and sales processes, and discussed ways to strengthen funnel management, tracking, and automation. We also welcomed an external digital marketing expert, whose independent perspective provided valuable insights and challenged us to think differently.
Of course, no VHV quarterly meeting would be complete without spending time together outside the meeting room. We wrapped up the event with a fantastic team dinner with family and friends, watched FIFA Club World Cup matches together, and some of us even ended the evening at the Metallica concert at Dublin's Aviva Stadium. 🤘⚽
A big thank you to the entire VHV team for the great discussions, energy, and commitment. We're excited for what lies ahead in H2 2026.
