Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Capital Always Finds a Way to Go Global with Jeff Stewart, GPO Fund
Q: Can you share what kinds of companies are most attracted to your global IPO playbook and how you assess whether they will benefit from accelerated international expansion?
Companies that can benefit from accelerated international expansion tend to have scalable products with possible use cases across multiple jurisdictions, a capable management team, and a ready global investor network. We also value a diverse LP base and the potential for partnerships that unlock revenue in other regions, which can boost growth beyond what a single market could achieve.
Why Capital Always Finds a Way to Go Global with Jeff Stewart, GPO Fund
Q: How do you evaluate deals in overheated markets where valuations are driven by hype, and what criteria help you decide whether a private-to-public trajectory makes sense for a company?
Valuation matters, but more importantly, the playbook you offer a founder should enable an eventual transition to a public market where they can own and control the company and access a broad base of institutional investors. Practical signals include diversified revenue, unit economics that can scale to profitability, and the ability to attract global public-market investors who can sustain a broader ownership base during a potential pivot or growth campaign.
Why Capital Always Finds a Way to Go Global with Jeff Stewart, GPO Fund
Q: Walk us through how you view the opportunity for founders to tap into global public markets earlier in their lifecycle and how that informs the advice you give around growth versus staying private.
The key is to build a clear vision, strong business model, and a capable team, while simultaneously cultivating relationships with global investors early so that, when the company matures, there is deep demand from international public market participants. This enables the company to go public earlier with more optionality and less dependence on a single market or local VC signalling.
Shahriar Tajbakhsh, Co-Founder of Metaview, on how AI is solving hiring's data problem
Q: How do you balance automation with maintaining trust in high-stakes hiring workflows?
Trust comes from listening to customers, delivering consistent outcomes, and maintaining transparent, public communication across teams; this approach reduces risk and builds a reputation that makes customers willing to adopt bold, autonomous solutions.
Shahriar Tajbakhsh, Co-Founder of Metaview, on how AI is solving hiring's data problem
Q: When did you realize you were building an operating system for hiring rather than just an AI note taker?
The shift happened as we saw the note taker's success enable broader capabilities; the realization came when we could automate more workflows and create a multi-product platform that used the core data asset of conversations to power enterprise value.
