Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Entrepreneurs First raised $200M: Jonny Clifford, Partner at Entrepreneurs First
Q: Amazer, so can you give a quick explanation into the EF model?
EF invests in people before they have a team or an idea, typically in cohorts, with the aim of helping them discover their life's work and accelerate to launching startups; they use residency and other programs to scale and support founders, including placing them in the US to gain market access and speed.
Nick de la Forge, Co-Founder / GP at Planet A Ventures: Angel money is coming back to European tech
Q: Are there examples where the framework changed a funding decision?
Yes, in some cases the system analysis showed that certain 'green' tech investments wouldn't meaningfully reduce emissions due to rebound effects, leading to different investment choices.
Nick de la Forge, Co-Founder / GP at Planet A Ventures: Angel money is coming back to European tech

Nick de la Forge, Co-Founder / GP at Planet A Ventures: Angel money is coming back to European tech
