WHY THIS PODCAST
This is the podcast we wish existed:
We've organized many events with great speakers — VCs, founders and more, but we always felt it was a loss that their views would mostly stay in the room. A podcast solves that and gives them more room to share insights.
Also, many deep tech founders lack information on the investment landscape and many VCs exploring new sectors wish to build a strong playbook fast, with best practices.
We also thought it was quite timely, as both biology and automation are getting a tailwind from the pandemic.
Finally, here are some articles you might be interested in:
HAX (our hardware program) shared its investment outlook on hardware in the wake of Covid-19.
IndieBio (our biology program) made a call for startups fighting Covid-19.
SOSV listed our portfolio companies on the front line against the pandemic.
Until next time!
