For our second series of 2021, we have a particularly diverse group of 10 inspiring guests who bring different backgrounds and skillsets to the world of investment. We meet with a retired police officer who entered the investment world through representing the pension scheme, a city trader turned Netflix TV producer, an investor in African SMEs, a venture capital investor, a leader of a think tank, a private equity investor focused on the Latinx consumer, a hedge fund founder and a consulting firm CEO.
We examine how access to capital is the last frontier of the civil rights movement, how supposed weaknesses can actually be a source of resilience and strength, how "earning your yes" instead of focusing on the "no' can be key in a business that is full of rejection and how mindful we have to be of how intimidating our industry can be.
We explore how constraints in setting up a business can foster creativity and the right kind of pivots, and how sometimes it is worth being that bull in the China shop and how much grit and setbacks can be the arsenal we rely upon.
