In this episode of Molecule to Market, you'll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Jim Gale, Founding Partner & Managing Director at Signet.   Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Jim, covering: The origins of growth equity in private equity and how it led to the founding of Signet, a fund built on deep domain expertise. Why private equity is a growing asset category but still remains undervalued and under appreciated. How the nature of the companies Signet invests in has evolved over the last twenty five years, while the fundamental principles of building a strong business remain the same. How the “picks and shovels” strategy of investing in tools, services and infrastructure has consistently served them well. Jim's assessment criteria when evaluating new opportunities after seventy deals, including the key question… can we institutionalise an entrepreneur led business. How higher interest rates and economic uncertainty constrain biopharma and biotech, and how that impacts investment dollars flowing into pharma services, along with deal flow, valuation and structure. James “Jim” Gale is the Founding Partner and Managing Director of Signet Healthcare Partners, a New York based healthcare growth equity firm specialising in pharmaceutical services, specialty pharma and medical technology. With more than thirty five years of investing and finance experience, Jim has built a deep track record backing companies involved in formulation, development, manufacturing and commercialisation across the world.   At Signet, Jim has led investments across the pharma services value chain, including platforms in sterile fill finish, complex formulations, biologics development and specialty generics. His current and recent board roles include Ascendia Pharmaceutical Solutions, NorthX Biologics, RK Pharma, Bionpharma, Chr Olesen Synthesis, Pharma Nobis, Juno Pharmaceuticals and Lee's Pharmaceutical. He also serves as Chairman of Bionpharma and is a director of Knight Therapeutics.   Jim holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.   Molecule to Market is also sponsored by Bora Pharmaceuticals and Charles River Laboratories, and supported by Lead Candidate.

In this episode we speak with Avichay Nissenbaum. A serial entrepreneur turned investor, and the founding partner of lool Ventures. He built and sold two startups - SmarTeam (acquired by Dassault Systèmes) and Yedda (acquired by AOL) - before dedicating his career to backing founders. Lool Ventures has invested over $200M and helped shape some of Israel's standout companies, including Beewise, NoTraffic, and Eleos Health. This conversation goes deep into the psychology of decision making, the emotional reality of investing, and the mindset that helps founders and investors navigate uncertainty. What We Dig Into: Pattern Recognition as a Superpower Avichay explains why VC is about seeing patterns long before they become obvious. He shares how reviewing 400–800 startups a year sharpens intuition, and why “sensor-tuning” is one of the most important skills an investor develops. He believes founders are often the ones who intuitively sense the future first. The AI Shift: Native vs. AI-Resilient Companies Avichay breaks down a framework every founder should understand: • AI Native - companies born on AI-first architecture. • AI Resilient - deep-tech companies that won't get erased by the next Gemini or GPT feature drop. He calls AI “the biggest shift of wealth of our generation,” and explains why resilience matters more than hype. What Makes a Founder Fundable He is blunt about what truly matters: • Tenacity • Resilience • Skin in the game • Hunger • Ability to execute under pressure He calls this the capacity to survive a “roller coaster on steroids.” He also explains why lool Ventures loves bootstrappers and founders who have already built a minimal product before fundraising. The Emotional Reality of Investing One of the most insightful parts of the discussion. Avichay describes the difficulty of shifting from builder to observer. He talks about: • Seeing founders drive straight into a wall • Knowing the solution but not owning the steering wheel • Balancing heart and logic • Acting as an advisor, not a commander His analogy: “It's like sitting next to the driver and you can't touch the wheel.” The Role of Naivety Avichay argues that naivety is often a hidden advantage. It creates the space for original thinking, passion, and courage - the ingredients behind unconventional breakthroughs. His Entrepreneurial Beginnings We go back to the moment he left a stable career to build something new. At 25, with no entrepreneurial experience, he pitched a radical product vision to his CEO, was turned down, and decided to do it himself. He shares how: • Most early feedback was “no.” • The first yes arrived only after many rejections. • Passion and discomfort worked together to pull him forward. His clarity is powerful: “You don't know. But something burns inside you.”

Semyon Dukach, the Founding Partner at One Way Ventures, serial entrepreneur, and former leader of the famed MIT Blackjack team, joins me to share his extraordinary journey from arriving in the U.S. as a Soviet refugee to becoming one of New England's top venture capitalists. We discuss his path from leading the MIT Blackjack team to startup founder to prolific investor. One Way Ventures invests only in immigrant founders and we discussed how he developed that thesis. We also talk about personal growth, overcoming imposter syndrome, and what it really takes to become an exceptional founder and leader.Where to find Semyon:XLinkedInOne Way VenturesTimestamps:(00:00) From Pacman to Blackjack: A Unique Journey(02:58) Lessons from the MIT Blackjack Team(05:54) Transitioning from Operator to Investor(08:52) The Immigrant Experience and Entrepreneurship(11:46) Building Trust in High-Stakes Environments(14:36) The Power of Immigrant Founders(17:44) Branding and Recognition in Venture Capital(28:18) Building a Strong Network for Deal Flow(31:39) Recognizing Undervalued Immigrant Founders(34:19) Traits of Extraordinary Founders(37:07) The Importance of Customer Focus(38:53) Growth Through Partnership and Experience(42:23) Navigating the Challenges of Venture Capital(44:56) Turning Disappointments into Opportunities(46:19) Dealing with Imposter Syndrome(47:32) Lessons Learned on the Entrepreneurial Journey(51:03) The Inner Drive of EntrepreneurshipConnect with Alisa!

In this latest episode in our Mergernomics series, we examine how attorneys and economists try to quantify the benefits of a merger, aka "efficiencies." Antitrust expert Brazil's Paula Camara and economist Silvia Faga de Almeida join host Anant Raut to discuss why efficiencies sometimes lower prices and why they sometimes don't, how economists measure them, which ones enforcers will accept and why, and how shifting policy priorities, such as protecting rather than firing employees, has changed what even counts as one.   With special guests: Silvia Faga de Almeida, Founding Partner, Ecoa Consultoria Economica and Paula Camara, Partner, Mattos Filho     Hosted by: Anant Raut

We explore how removing immigration friction and backing immigrant founders at day zero can produce outsized innovation, through the lens of a VC platform and a biotech founder reprogramming tumors with mRNA and AI. The conversation blends policy, venture economics, and a bold oncology thesis with practical advice and personal stories.• immigrant advantage as resilience, clarity, and risk appetite• Unshackled's Day Zero model and economics• technical visionaries and system disruptors archetypes• turning tumors into immune allies with mRNA and AI• off the shelf approach across solid tumors• storytelling skills for technical CEOs• curated community as capital and catalyst• immigration policy takes on points systems and talent pipelines• why fear based rules hurt innovation• reflections on curiosity, kindness, and gritWhat happens when you bet on a founder before there's a product, revenue, or even a company? We bring together Manan Mehta, founding partner at Unshackled Ventures, and Rustam Esanov, co-founder and CEO of Reprogram Biosciences, to unpack how day‑zero investing meets deep tech ambition—and how that mix can upend cancer therapy.Manan opens the curtain on Unshackled's model: underwrite immigrant founders when capital and confidence are scarcest, handle immigration legal end‑to‑end, and curate a community that knows when to introduce the next believer. He breaks down their two founder archetypes—technical visionaries and system disruptors—plus the quotients that matter: intelligence, adversity, emotional, and social. We dig into why early belief earns better economics, how consensus‑driven VC misses mispriced opportunities, and what it takes to move a company from a first experiment to a milestone investors can't ignore.Rustam shares the personal spark behind his mission and the science powering it. Using AI‑guided design and mRNA, his team aims to reprogram tumor cells into immune‑like allies, opening the “fortress” from the inside so the body can attack solid tumors. He explains why an off‑the‑shelf approach beats personalization for scale, how early out‑of‑pocket experiments de‑risked the thesis, and the single most practical lesson he learned transitioning from bench science to CEO: tell a story so clear a teenager can understand it. Manan Mehta: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mananm/Manan Mehta is the Founding Partner of Unshackled Ventures, the only inception-stage (pre-revenue, pre-product, pre-incorporation) venture fund focused entirely on backing immigrant-founded startups.  For over 11 years, Manan has led the firm, which provides capital, network access, and full immigration support, having sponsored over 300 immigration filings for founders, often before they incorporate their businesses. Rustam Esanov:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rustamesanov/Rustam Esanov is the CEO and Co-founder of Reprogram Biosciences, a deep-tech company developing mRNA reprogramming therapeutics.  His mission is to turn tumors into immune-like allies to treat solid cancers by leveraging a proprietary AI platform to build a precision cell-reprogramming engine to solve one of the most complex challenges in medicine.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: sparkofages.podcast@position2.com

As AI-generated music floods the market, the music industry faces unprecedented questions about creativity, copyright, and compensation. But behind every evolving technology and headline debate are the lawyers, often musicians themselves, who navigate the space where art and law converge. In this episode of Brand & New, guest host Rudy Gaines sits down with two leading intellectual property practitioners whose personal and professional lives are deeply connected to music: INTA Past President Mei-lan Stark, Executive Vice President and Chief Counsel for IP at NBCUniversal (USA) and Rick McMurtry, Founding Partner at M|C Law Group (USA). From childhood music lessons to high-stakes licensing negotiations, both guests share how their lifelong connection to music has shaped their careers, protecting creative works. Together, they trace the soundtrack of the industry's evolution, from the era of Napster to today's AI-driven soundscapes, exploring how innovation challenges what it means to be both creator and protector. This episode was recorded live during INTA's 2025 Annual Meeting in San Diego, California.Resources: About Mei-lan StarkAbout Rick McMurtryAbout Rudy GainesRelated Brand & New Episodes:The Beat of IP: A Conversation with The Opposition™ BandCertifying Human Music in the Age of AIINTA's 2026 Annual Meeting

This week on The Data Minute, Peter sits down with Ben Orthlieb, Founding Partner at Blue Moon VC, for a look under the hood of a firm that has completely re-engineered the venture capital process using AI.Ben explains how Blue Moon uses a proprietary tech stack to source over 12,000 teams a year and screen them down to the top 5% based on their probability of graduating to Series B, achieving performance metrics that rival top-tier firms without the massive headcount. He breaks down why the "warm intro" is obsolete, how sending AI-generated dossiers to founders results in a 75% meeting acceptance rate, and why human judgment is still the final decision-maker.They also discuss the "hollowing middle" of the venture market, why multi-billion dollar funds struggle to innovate their own workflows, and how a small check strategy allows Blue Moon to cooperate, rather than compete, with the biggest names in the industry.Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/Chapters00:00 – Intro: The AI-first VC01:27 – Blue Moon's thesis: Coverage and Winning03:11 – How to source 12,000 teams a year without a network05:40 – "Machine learning instinct": Optimizing for Series B graduation07:44 – Backtesting the algorithm against top 50 Seed firms10:12 – The 75% meeting conversion rate (and why cold email works)12:30 – The "AI Dossier": Showing founders you did the work14:13 – Finding outliers outside the "Credibility Pool" (The Mercor story)16:05 – The investment process: Where AI ends and humans begin18:43 – Does it matter who else is on the cap table?23:36 – The "Small Check" advantage in winning allocation25:22 – How to interview for resilience30:20 – Why personal questions are a competitive advantage32:31 – Follow-ons, reserves, and systematic secondaries36:00 – Why haven't big funds copied this strategy yet?39:54 – The "hollowing middle" of the VC market44:40 – Why brand is the only defense against noise49:20 – Do warm intros actually result in better investments?52:46 – The future of the "Operator-VC" model56:00 – What LPs really think about an AI-driven fund59:07 – OutroThis presentation contains general information only and eShares, Inc. dba Carta, Inc.

Welcome back to another EUVC Podcast, where we explore the lessons, frameworks, and insights shaping Europe's venture ecosystem.Today, Andreas Munk Holm sits down with Matti Hautsalo, Founding Partner at Nordic Science Investments (NSI), a €60M early-stage fund dedicated to university spin-outs across the Nordics and Europe. With a team spanning tech transfer, research, founding, VC, and investment banking, NSI backs science-powered companies at pre-seed and seed, then helps recruit commercial leaders, navigate TTOs, and transfer IP cleanly so these companies can raise from broader deep-tech syndicates.

In this episode of the PepTalks Podcast, we explore what PE-backed executives can learn from elite athletes about resilience, recovery and sustainable high performance. We're joined by Matt Symons, former professional rugby player with 200 appearances, including a Premiership title with Harlequins in 2021. Today, Matt is Founding Partner at Malvern Street, where he works with senior leaders to strengthen personal performance and resilience in high-stakes, high-growth environments. Matt shares practical, evidence-based strategies for building self-awareness, managing energy, and avoiding burnout, especially useful as you start planning for 2026.

While much of Wall Street's focus over past recent years has been on the AI hyperscalers, there are an increasing number of seismic developments happening internationally investors need to be aware of.For example, as a basket, emerging market stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 this year.And to name just a few others:1) Japanese bond yields have surged to the highest levels in 20 years, threatening to put an end to the carry trade2) A US-driven regime change in Venezuela looks imminent3) China continues to fire its monetary and fiscal bazookas with gusto in attempt to pull itself out of its deep balance sheet recession4) And in the wake of negotiating a tenuous peace between Isreal and Palestine, renewed efforts are underway to bring an end to the Russia/Ukraine warWhich international trends are the most important for investors to track? What are the biggest risks? And where are the biggest opportunities?To better understand the situation from a non-US perspective, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program Louis Gave, Founding Partner and CEO at Gavekal.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

For a generation, presidential races were blowouts. Every winner between 1980 and 1996 won by at least 37 Electoral College votes. These landslides relegated conspiracy theories about contested elections to the political fringes.Then came 2000. The last polls showed a dead heat. On election night, the networks called it for Al Gore, then retracted their calls, then called it for George W. Bush, and retracted again.Ultimately, five Supreme Court justices, all appointed by Republican presidents, put an end to the recount underway in Florida and effectively declared Bush the winner. The fractured opinions were a maze of disagreements, with the majority warning that the opinion should not be cited as precedent. Their reasoning flummoxed legal scholars — even those who agreed with the outcome. Listen as experts involved in the case discuss how it changed the relationship between Americans and elections and between elections and the courts.Speakers:David Boies, Founding Partner, Boies Schiller FlexnerBenjamin Ginsberg, Volker Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Hoover Institution; National Counsel, Bush-Cheney Presidential CampaignBarbara Pariente, Justice (retired), Florida Supreme CourtWendy Weiser, Vice President, Democracy, Brennan Center for JusticeModerator: Michael Waldman, President and CEO, Brennan CenterRecorded on December 9, 2025.Keep up with the Brennan Center's work by subscribing to our weekly newsletter, The Briefing, at https://go.brennancenter.org/briefing.The Brennan Center is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to repair, revitalize, and defend our systems of democracy and justice so they work for all Americans.

My guest today is Bill Barton. Bill is a Founding Partner of Colrain Capital – overseeing all elements of the firm's portfolio management. Founded in 2001, Colrain specializes in fundamental stock picking. They run one concentrated portfolio of best ideas. The team initially met at legendary value equity firm GMO – and left in 2001 to form Mayo Capital with Richard Mayo. That firm is now known as Colrain. Bill earned is BA in English at Dartmouth College and his MBA from Darden at UVA.  I was originally introduced to the Colrain team by another family office. We frequently get introductions and referrals, but this one was special.

In this special double-feature episode of Bits + Bips, Unchained executive editor Steve Ehrlich brings listeners two of the clearest investor perspectives on where the crypto markets may be headed next. First, Owen Lau, Managing Director at Clear Street, breaks down why crypto equities remain so tightly correlated to Bitcoin—and what might finally cause that link to break. He unpacks the growing role of stablecoin revenue, Coinbase and Circle's evolving business models, and why a market structure bill in 2026 could reshape the sector. Then, in the second half, Bob Diamond and David Schamis of Hyperliquid Strategies explain why they believe Hyperliquid and its HYPE token represent one of the most compelling opportunities in digital assets. They walk through the rationale for their DAT, Hyperliquid's performance during extreme market volatility, and the broader ecosystem being built through HIP-3 and beyond.

Hong Kong's worst residential fire in more than half a century has killed at least 44 people and left hundreds missing, as rescue workers race to extinguish the blaze and Chinese President Xi Jinping urges all-out efforts to reduce casualties. Rescue efforts continued overnight after a fire that began around 3 p.m. Wednesday turned an eight-tower housing block in northern Hong Kong into an inferno, sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky. Officials said the blaze began on a section of the bamboo scaffolding encasing the complex, which is still widely used in the city. Bloomberg's Minmin Low is on site. Investors continue to keep an eye on the increasing probability of a December interest rate cut. What does that mean for Asian Markets? We heard from Hartmut Issel, UBS Wealth Management Head of APAC Equities and Credit. He spoke to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Shery Ahn on the Asia Trade. Plus - Wall Street extended its rally on Wednesday. Tech stocks led the climb in US equities as rising expectations for interest-rate cuts helped carry traders' newfound optimism into the Thanksgiving break. Also, the latest Fed survey showed little change in US economic activity during recent weeks. The so-called Beige Book also found employment declined slightly -- and prices rose moderately.

Here's the complete description with show notes for Libsyn: IoT Reality Check: Fresh Insights from the Latest Benchmarking Report - Matt Hatton from Transforma Insights Breaks Down What's Really Working In this episode of TechBurst Talks, I sit down with Matt Hatton, founding partner at Transforma Insights, to dive deep into his latest IoT peer benchmark report covering 27 MNOs and MVNOs worldwide. Matt brings over 15 years of industry experience, having founded Machina Research (sold to Gartner in 2016) before launching Transforma Insights. We explore the most surprising findings from his fresh research, including the rise of SGP 32 for eSIM localization, how AI is finally being used for IoT-specific operations rather than just generic business functions, and why many connectivity providers are diversifying into adjacent markets like fixed wireless access. Matt breaks down the persistent challenges around network fragmentation, explains why IoT growth remains steady rather than explosive, and shares his outlook for 2026. We also discuss the symbiotic relationship between IoT and AI, where IoT provides the essential data feeds that make AI applications truly valuable. The conversation wraps up with some personal insights about music, favorite bands, and best concert experiences. SHOW NOTES: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Background Matt Hatton introduces himself as founding partner at Transforma Insights, sharing his journey from telematics and M2M days through founding Machina Research (sold to Gartner in 2016) to his current focus on IoT, AI, and edge computing. 00:17 Transforma Insights and IOT Market Overview of Transforma Insights' focus areas and Matt's specialization in connectivity, mobile network operators, MVNOs, and the supporting infrastructure that makes IoT deployments possible. 00:56 Telecoms and Connectivity Focus Discussion of the complexity and diversity of IoT solutions, covering the full tech stack from devices through networks, platforms, and applications - and why telecoms expertise is crucial for understanding the space. 02:51 IOT Peer Benchmark Reports Deep dive into Transforma Insights' comprehensive research analyzing 27 MNOs and MVNOs worldwide - the methodology, scope, and dual purpose of identifying industry trends while helping enterprises evaluate connectivity providers. 04:43 Surprising Findings in IOT Key discoveries from the latest report including: localization trends driven by regulatory and performance needs, AI evolution from generic business tools to IoT-specific operations, and diversification into adjacent higher-revenue markets like fixed wireless access. 15:25 Challenges in IOT Connectivity The persistent problem of network fragmentation - 2G/3G shutdowns, patchy 5G rollouts, NB-IoT adoption challenges, and why the mobile industry's choppy technology evolution continues to complicate global IoT deployments. 19:25 SGP 32 and Its Impact Explaining SGP 32 eSIM localization technology in layman's terms - how it enables better multi-country IoT connectivity, reduces reliance on roaming, but doesn't solve all the commercial relationship challenges. 26:22 The State of IoT: Current Trends and Challenges Assessment of where IoT stands today - realistic expectations vs. hype cycles, the role of specialist players vs. major tech vendors, and why steady incremental growth remains the norm. 26:52 The Evolution of IoT: From Telematics to Today Matt's perspective on IoT's steady evolution since 2011, the importance of expectation management, and how regulated mandated use cases provide the few "hockey stick" growth moments in the industry. 28:54 The Role of Major Tech Vendors in IoT Discussion of how major tech vendors have stepped back from IoT, the transition from buzzword marketing to business-as-usual implementations, and the value of focusing on business outcomes rather than technology labels. 31:57 The Intersection of AI and IoT Exploring how IoT serves as the "eyes and ears" for AI systems, enabling interaction with the real world through applications like video analytics, autonomous driving, and industrial optimization. 33:41 Future Trends in IoT: Looking Ahead to 2026 Key trends for the coming year: AI-IoT integration, video analytics adoption, compliance and regulatory drivers, and the continued shift toward value-based selling over connectivity selling. 35:33 The Impact of Satellite Connectivity on IoT Current state and future potential of satellite IoT - from traditional high-value asset tracking to new capabilities from Starlink and others, plus the limitations and cost considerations that remain. 38:43 Personal Insights: Music and Career Reflections Lighter conversation about shared musical tastes in punk/alternative rock, first concerts (Ned's Atomic Dustbin vs. a legendary $10 show featuring Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, and Red Hot Chili Peppers), favorite bands, and career reflections. 45:20 Conclusion: Reflecting on IoT's Progress and Future Wrapping up with realistic optimism about IoT's steady progress, the importance of business case-driven implementations, and looking forward to continued industry evolution.

Edward Dowd, Founding Partner of Phinance Technologies, a global macro alternative investment firm, and author of "Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022,” joins Julia La Roche on episode 304. Ed Dowd argues we're already in a technical recession, with the stock market bubble driven by just seven stocks masking underlying economic weakness as housing rolls over, layoffs accelerate at Amazon and UPS, and credit markets tighten. He warns that insider selling is at unprecedented levels as institutions distribute to retail investors in classic "FOMO" behavior, while the equal-weighted S&P has gone nowhere since January. Dowd criticizes the Trump administration for gaslighting Americans about the economy instead of communicating the Biden hangover from illegal immigration and deficit spending, explains China is exporting deflation due to their real estate crisis and 20 years of excess housing inventory, and predicts a deflation scare with oil plummeting to $30 before the Fed intervenes with massive QE. He recommends raising cash and moving into treasuries like Warren Buffett, expects the dollar to rip as liquidity dries up globally, sees gold hitting $10,000 by 2030 as central banks accumulate it, and warns Bitcoin will go much lower as it's underperforming treasuries—an early warning indicator of the risk-off environment ahead.This episode is brought to you by VanEck. Learn more about the VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF: http://vaneck.com/REMXJuliaThis episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals.

With AI tools like ChatGPT shaping how shoppers discover products, brands are facing a new kind of competition — one where search optimization meets machine learning. How can companies ensure their products are recommended when customers ask AI what to buy? According to eCommerce and data analytics expert Spencer Millerberg, the key lies in mastering both traditional and generative optimization. He urges brands to speak the customer's language, not their internal catalog terms, and to keep content fresh to trigger algorithmic boosts. By understanding how AI prioritizes retailer and brand content, and by revisiting SEO regularly, brands can secure lasting visibility and growth. In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant welcomes Spencer Millerberg, Founding Partner of DetailPage, back to the show to discuss AI-driven discoverability. Spencer explains why retailer content dominates AI recommendations, how quarterly content updates improve search ranking, and why optimizing neglected B SKUs drives major growth.
