Going on a podcast with @vidags10 is a bit like spending an hour on a therapist’s couch. He’s a great interviewer that can pull the conversation in unexpected but interesting directions. Thanks for having me on the pod.
Tune into the latest episode of @highflyerspod to hear @jamesdcameron chat with @vidags10 about:
✈️ Why VC investing is like travel
🤝 Mr Yum and me&u’s merger
❓ Questions he likes asking founders in a first meeting

This change will have a very chilling effect on the angel investment landscape and hurts founders.
There is a balance to be struck and retail investors should have protections - but simply increasing the financial thresholds is a stupid way to do it.

Great news from some great people here. Founders get around them!
Today, I'm excited to share that we’ve done the first close of @SidestageVC Fund 1 and quietly made our first 3 investments from the fund.
Wonderful news and huge congrats to the team at @MSeqVC
Huge, huge congrats to @mikezim25 @wbartee @Mikenicholls88 @philmorle and the whole team @MSeqVC on the latest $450m fund! Truly fantastic news for deep tech founders and Australian innovation more generally.
Maybe a bit of a narrative violation rn - but big rounds into Aus based co’s from global funds are definitely still happening
And cyber security co’s have held up particularly well in the downturn.
Congrats @PieterDanhieux and team. Glad to double down on a category leader

1. Start with an app that already has 2 billion users

waiting for reaction when this headline gets misread in australia as having an 'n' in the company name. Am sure the pita bread is excellent tho... techcrunch.com/2023/06/15/ca…
