S4E22 - Pietro Bezza, Co-Founder and Managing Partner @ Connect Ventures

🎙️ New Riding Unicorns episode!

Pietro Bezza is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of thesis-led venture capital firm, Connect Ventures. Specialising in investing in seed companies, Connect was the first to invest in unicorns such as TrueLayer, Typeform and Oyster. 

Long-time listeners will be aware that this is not the first time we have had a member of the Connect Ventures team on the show. In fact, in Season 2 we invited Sitar Teli to discuss all things product. 

This time round though we invited Pietro onto the show to double down on product and to discuss a myriad of different subjects. In fact, the episode kicks off with James and Hector learning about how cheese played an essential part during the early part of Pietro’s career. Following this, the trio also go on to cover the topics of whether founders should be using Doc Send and if having board members is worth it or not.
