INVESTMENT ANALYST

Ivana is an Investment Analyst at Best Nights VC, bringing a perspective shaped by two cultures, five countries and an unusually wide range of industries.
Raised between French and German influences, she learned early that different ways of thinking aren't friction points – they're where the most interesting ideas emerge.
Her career spans finance at emlyon, strategy and digital business at ESCP, consulting with Bain & Company, the luxury world of an LVMH Maison, supply-chain tech at Amazon UK, cultural transformation consulting inside some of Germany's largest organizations, and early-stage VC at Iris Capital.
As an artist and musician herself, her roots in nightlife culture run deep. She doesn't just analyse the IRL economy – she's part of it.
INVESTMENT ASSOCIATE

Christina is an investor at Best Nights VC, brining a perspective shaped by venture capital, data, and an enduring fascination with consumer culture.
Always curious about what's capturing people's attention, shaping conversations, and defining the cultural zeitgeist, she has spent her career exploring how ideas evolve into products, brands, and movements that people genuinely care about.
Her experience spans data analytics, consumer marketplaces, and early-stage investing, from Earlybird, Porsche Ventures, and Heartfelt Capital to BNVC, where she backs founders building the future of consumer experiences, culture, and social connection.
Drawn equally to creativity and analytical thinking, she's most excited by businesses that become part of people's identities and everyday rituals. She doesn't just look at consumer trends - she looks for the cultural shifts behind them.
