dr. iur. (PPKE) László Molnár

My approach to my profession has been notably shaped by my personality – a blend of humour, communication skills, and a deep-seated sense of responsibility. Known for my ability to break the ice and lighten the mood, I bring an element of ease even to the highest-stakes situations. My ability to communicate in a clear and compelling manner not only makes me approachable but also enhances my effectiveness in negotiations and client interactions.

My academic path took me from earning an undergraduate law degree in Budapest, Hungary, to exploring European business law in Scotland and eventually to a postgraduate legal program in Hamburg. This versatile educational background and the exposure to multiple cultures has enabled me as a lawyer to quickly connect the dots even in the most complex cross-border transactions and shaped my holistic approach to life and business.

I have decided that my calling was to become a lawyer at the ripe age of twelve and have developed a passion for transactions during my studies. It was the thrill of the deal—the perfect blend of people business and transaction structuring for the daredevils of the VC ecosystem—that captivated me the most.

The best piece of advice I have ever received was to avoid tasks that don’t bring me joy, a mantra that has guided my professional choices and, eventually, led me to my current focus. I find immense satisfaction in the fast-paced and intricate world of venture capital, where each deal presents a new challenge and an opportunity to drive progress.

Outside of work, discussing topics like flag theory, longevity, family, as well as material and spiritual prosperity excites me, reflecting my personal and professional interests in achieving fulfillment in all aspects of life. Unlike many, I have no specific role models, but I am driven by ideals of self-determination, integrity, and the importance of family and friends.
