In this episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris delve into the complex world of valuations, exploring both the theoretical foundations and the practical realities faced by entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Peter begins by discussing the fundamental principles of valuation, using the metaphor of a "Golden Goose" to illustrate how discounted cash flow models are used to estimate a company's worth based on future cash flows.The conversation shifts to the venture capital landscape, where Peter notes that traditional valuation methods often don't apply due to the high-risk nature of early-stage startups. He emphasizes that while these models provide a theoretical framework, the actual process of valuation in venture capital is heavily influenced by negotiation and market dynamics.Jon counters with a more pragmatic view, suggesting that valuations are often inflated and less relevant than other terms in a deal. He shares examples of companies being valued at significantly higher amounts than their true worth, highlighting how VCs may use these valuations to secure favorable terms.Throughout the episode, the hosts discuss how the market has evolved, with valuations increasing dramatically over the past decade. They reflect on past deals, noting that what was once considered acceptable is now viewed as predatory, illustrating the shift in market norms and expectations.The conversation concludes with insights into the challenges of raising capital, emphasizing that sophisticated entrepreneurs are better equipped to navigate complex deals and avoid unfavorable terms. Overall, this episode provides a nuanced exploration of valuations from both the VC and founder's perspective, offering valuable insights into the art and science of negotiating value in the venture capital world.Follow the PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/venturecapitalfm/Twitter: https://twitter.com/vcpodcastfmLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/venturecapitalfm/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7BQimY8NJ6cr617lqtRr7N?si=ftylo2qHQiCgmT9dfloD_g&nd=1&dlsi=7b868f1b72094351Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/venture-capital/id1575351789Website: https://www.venturecapital.fm/Follow Jon BradshawLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrbradshaw/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjonbradshaw/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrjonbradshawFollow Peter HarrisLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterharris1Twitter: https://twitter.com/thevcstudentInstagram: https://instagram.com/shodanpeteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterharris2812

In this episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris make their predictions for the venture capital landscape in 2025. The conversation kicks off with a discussion about the current wave of AI-focused startups, with both hosts agreeing that many of these companies, particularly those building "AI wrappers" without unique data sets, will face challenges as larger players and incumbents integrate AI into their existing products and services. Jon predicts a "burned over land" scenario for many of these startups.The hosts then shift to a discussion about the potential impact of political changes on the M&A market. Jon predicts that Lina Khan will leave the FTC, leading to a more open M&A environment and increased liquidity.

In this episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris engage in a lively debate about the current state of AI investments and the implications for startups in the tech space. They kick off the discussion by analyzing recent statistics indicating that 31% of all assets are now categorized as AI investments, prompting Jon to express skepticism about the sustainability of many AI-focused startups.Jon argues that many companies labeled "AI companies" may struggle to differentiate themselves in a crowded market, suggesting that AI is often seen as an add-on feature rather than a standalone product. He contrasts this perspective with Peter's view that AI represents a transformative wave similar to past technological advancements, such as mobile technology. Peter asserts that companies built with an AI-first approach may have a competitive advantage over traditional firms that merely integrate AI into their existing products.The hosts explore various examples, discussing how incumbents like Zendesk could leverage their established customer bases to implement AI solutions more effectively than new entrants can gain market share. They also consider the broader implications of AI on product development costs and customer acquisition strategies, highlighting the evolving landscape where discoverability becomes increasingly challenging as more applications emerge.Throughout the episode, Jon and Peter provide valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges facing founders in the AI space, encouraging listeners to think critically about their business models and the potential for disruption in a rapidly changing environment.

Since Peter and Miranda Harris co-founded A Rocha in 1983, it has grown into an international family of Christian conservation organisations. After Miranda's tragic death in 2019, their daughter Jo found her mother's diaries in which she described the beginnings of A Rocha in their home in Portugal at which there was always ‘A Place at the Table'. These stories became the inspiration for Jo's recent book which explores the transformative way in which sharing food is at the heart of a shared life. This talk will be a conversation around the theme of the book, and of A Rocha, and how they may resonate with L'Abri's own calling.Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org. The library contains over two thousand lectures and discussions that explore questions about the reality and relevance of Christianity.

Peter Harris critiques America's grand strategy of primacy and advocates for a move to restraint that necessarily includes wholesale reforms to domestic as well as foreign policy. He explains why primacy has persisted despite the wisdom of retrenchment and how decades of an expansive foreign policy has shaped American politics, culture, and institutions. He also discusses the problems of vested interests, partisanship, and how to make restraint more salable to the public.Show NotesPeter Harris, Why America Can't Retrench (and How it Might), Polity Press, 2024.

Taiwan's government agencies are battered by 5 million cyberattacks every day. China is holding invasion drills at a replica of Taiwan's presidential palace in Inner Mongolia.

In this episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris discuss various aspects of venture capital and entrepreneurship, including the signs of a hostile takeover in the startup world. They cover the concept of hostile takeovers and how it applies to publicly traded companies, where an investor buys a majority of the stock to take control of the business. In the startup landscape, hostile takeovers are less common due to the venture capital industry's shift towards being founder-friendly.The hosts also discuss the potential for a founder's replacement, which can happen when a founder recognizes their limitations and brings in a more experienced professional to lead the company. They emphasize that while such situations can feel hostile, they are often a result of the founder's decision and are not necessarily a hostile takeover in the traditional sense.The episode also touches on the role of activist investors, who may approach a company with a buyout offer if they see a different trajectory for the company.

Peter Harris is a dedicated advocate for conservation, and shares his journey of working with A Rocha, a Christian conservation organization he co-founded over four decades ago. Peter shares how his faith-driven approach has helped him develop practical responses, and fostered connections between love for God, care for creation, and environmental stewardship.   Quotes “It's quite clear that we are facing a climate crisis. In the lifetime of A Rocha—which is just 40 years—we have lost half of life on Earth, so you could call it the thinning of life, the disappearance of species and the collapse of populations.” - Peter Harris “For a Christian organization that really believes that our life on Earth is intended to be a response to a loving creator, it is who we are in that relationship of worship and obedience that is going to be the wellspring for our actions.” - Peter Harris “I think that many of our human rhythms and surroundings are artifacts of a commercial effort. We're surrounded by all we have done and what we have made. And it's often noisy and incoherent. Whereas Creation speaks of its Creator, as Scripture envisages creation as a kind of choir.” - Peter Harris “We care for God's creation because it's God's creation. He loves it far more than we do. And because it is the fundamental thing about being human that we first learn in Genesis that we are in the garden to care for it. The two big Bible words are to care for and to serve the creation. That's what it is to be human. That's why we do it. We don't do it because we have hopes of some campaign of saving the earth. The world has a Savior, and it's not us.” - Peter Harris    Guest's Links A Rocha International  A Rocha Facebook A Rocha Twitter A Rocha Instagram   Resources Mentioned in This Episode A Rocha International Kingfisher's Fire: A Story of Hope for God's Earth by Peter Harris Under the Bright Wings by Peter Harris   Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*  

This is our unabridged interview with Peter Harris and Jo Swinney. “If you live in community, you have no choice but to tell a true story.” Peter Harris, Anglican clergyman and founder of environmental non-profit A Rocha, lost his beloved wife Miranda in a car accident in South Africa. Miranda left behind a grieving community, and an unfinished book. Their daughter, Jo Swinney, found her mother's unfinished book, full of wisdom and stories from a life dedicated to hospitality. She finished and published it, and in the process, learned much about both grief and joy. In this episode, Peter and Jo sit down in front of a live audience to discuss the legacy of hospitality and faith that Miranda left, what it has been like to grieve, and what it might be like to see a deteriorating world with the same hope that Miranda did.

From 2016: Until his death from cancer over four years ago, Christopher Hitchens was one of the preeminent figures of new atheism: a prolific writer who was eloquent, witty and in great demand for his speaking and debating. Justin is joined by Christopher's brother Peter Hitchens who is a columnist for the Mail On Sunday, atheist blogger Ed Turner, and Peter Harris, a Christian apologist writing a PhD on Hitchens. In this show we assess some of his arguments against religion, including the claim that "religion poisons everything" and belief in God is like believing in a celestial North Korean dictator.
