What are Venture Capitalists? How do they operate? And what can founders learn from them in the pursuit of backing for their big idea?

In this episode, we enter the real dragons' den and put a human face to this influential but little-understood world - in this case, Rob Moffat from Balderton.

In a revealing conversation with Ollie, Rob gives us the perspective from the other side of the desk, what founders should be considering when they approach VCs, and the attributes that he and his colleagues look for when deciding who and what to invest in. Rob also gives us his insight on the areas where he anticipates future growth, and has an assuring piece of wisdom for founders wherever they are on their business journey.

Presented by Andrew Parsonage, with expert analysis from Ollie Collard.
