Glamorous GP Bullhound and Vitesse Media event on 1 October to celebrate the cream of the investment and entrepreneur communities with a 'Year of the Unicorns' theme.

In a tough year for most of the venture capital industry, achieving a good exit, or multiple successful exits, was the measure of success at last night's Investor Allstars Awards.
