SPECIAL EPISODE: BRIAN SMIGA

🎙The full episode is available for listening on:

Brian Smiga is Co-Founder and Partner at Alpha Partners, a next-generation growth equity firm. After giving an exciting talk at Web Summit 2022, he joins our host Ivan Zeljkovic for a brief interview regarding the nature of the modern market. Many investors and founders are panicking in light of what could be called a bear market or even a crisis. 

However, as Brian explains, down cycles like this period, although hard to bear, are actually a healthy function of the economy. Brian explains how, for serious investors, it has now returned to business as normal. He expects there to be more time and energy for due diligence to play a greater role. 

Brian also shares other illuminating insights such as: 

  • The rise of the micro-specialized venture capital firm

  • How professionalism is returning to the main point of priority for many venture capital firms

  • How venture capital firms drive innovation in technology worldwide
