Description

Successful disruption is difficult to spot. Ideas are endless, talk is cheap, and many founders flourish, while others fall to the wayside.

How can anyone be sure what will be a truly successful venture, and what’s simply hype (or talk)?

We asked Joe Medved, a Partner at Lerer Hippeau, a highly active seed-stage investment firm that funds innovative founders across nearly all industries. He came on the #FlipMyFunnel podcast, where Dave Knox interviewed him as part of Dave’s #TakeoverTuesday series.

Here’s what we’re unpacking today: 

• Venture capital funding
• How to determine whether a venture will be successful
• As a VC, what key trends does Joe see on digital disruption?
• What is at the foundation of disruptive brand creation?
• Are emerging digitally native vertical brands going to expand, or get acquired by bigger players?
• How is voice going to impact brands?
• How can business leaders evaluate new entrepreneurs with ideas they have no experience in?

• How Twitter helps you keep up with disruption

This #TakeoverTuesday episode of the #FlipMyFunnel podcast is cohosted by Dave Knox, and special guest Joe Medved.
