Big Change Through Venture Capital

Loading player...
Fellow venture capitalist Mr David Harlley joins host Jonathan Wilson in Episode 7 of the Big Change series. They argue that the current state of capitalism closely resembles the feudal system it rejected centuries ago, and that there is a need in both the global North and global South to re-imagine work and wealth distribution. In response to this systemic challenge they offer a different approach of deploying venture capital, in light of a generative, non-extractive view of capital and capital growth.
