# Building Covid-proof Products and Services: A Deep Dive into the European VC Market with Breega Capital

Are you a founder wondering how to build products and services that can withstand the current pandemic crisis? Or, are you a VC looking to help fuel startups in this tough market? Tune in for an epic chat with Ben, MP, and Co-founder at Breega Capital as we explore the European VC market.

## The Epic Pledge for Social Good

Before diving into the conversation, let’s talk about the Epic Pledge. It’s a promise made by VCs and founders to give a small percentage of their carry or equity from an exit to social good. It’s not legally binding, but rather a commitment made to oneself, with the opportunity to join a community of like-minded people.

Give back while staying focused on your business and join the Epic Pledge today.

## Featuring High Impact Organizations

At Epic, we fight to change the lives of disadvantaged children and youth around the world through our portfolio of high impact organizations. In this video, we feature Arjun Khan, a French organization bridging the reading gap between underserved children and their peers. In the UK, we have The Brilliant Club, helping underrepresented pupils progress to highly selective universities. We encourage you to click the donation link and give generously, as this week, Ben has pledged to match all donations up to 5k.

## Deep Dive into the European VC Market
