Whether you're starting a tech venture or investing in one, you need to understand how to spot the next tech investment trend. Why? Because if your venture or your portfolio is riding the wave of a genuinely transformative technology, you have a structural advantage. If it isn't, you're pushing uphill. And here is the good news: you do not need a computer science degree to do this!

For generations, a liberal arts education was the gold standard of preparation for career and a well-rounded-life.  For much of the last decade, however, voices—including those of prominent technology leaders—have warned that the jobs of today and tomorrow require education in so-called STEM fields: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.  Not surprisingly, enrollments in liberal arts fields have declined.  Scott Hartley argues that far more than a luxury—the skills and perspective cultivated by a liberal arts education are precisely the skills needed for the modern information economy.  Scott Hartley is a venture capitalist and the author of “The Fuzzy and the Techie: Why the Liberal Arts Will Rule the Digital World,” a Financial Times business book of the month. It was also a finalist for the Financial Times and McKinsey & Company’s Bracken Bower Prize an author under 35. He has been a Partner at Mohr Davidow Ventures (MDV), and a Venture Partner at Compound. Prior to venture capital, Hartley worked at Google, Facebook, Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, and at the White House as a Presidential Innovation Fellow.

In this podcast, Andrew Hill discusses how to best bring a business book proposal to publication with Georgina Laycock, publisher for non-fiction at John Murray, Joel Rickett, deputy publisher at Ebury and Bracken Bower Prize judge, and Jonathan Conway, whose own London-based literary agency specialises in non-fiction.
