VC React Podcast (Episode #7)

In this week's episode of the VC React Podcast, we discuss NVIDIA's acquisition of Brev.dev, a portfolio company of the Saudi VC firm Nama Ventures. We explore the advantages of being a technical VC, examine how Lucky ONE was spun out of Dsquares and how its inception enabled the team to observe transaction patterns and better understand local consumer behaviours. And to top things off, we collectively provide a very quick and superficial review of the graduates from Oraseya Capital's Sandbox Accelerator program.

This week Ahmad and I had the tremendous pleasure to be joined by:

Saud Alsahhaf (Senior Associate at Impact46)

Zeina Mandour (Venture Investment Manager Dar)
