This week we had on John Smothers (@smothers_john) from Acrew Capital.

Acrew is a multi-strategy fund focused on modernizing security and infrastructure, rebuilding financial services, reimagining the future of work, better connecting datasets, and activated communities. Within his role, John focuses on sourcing pre-seed companies that match the funds’ thesis.

In this talk, we discuss:

  • The opportunity to build businesses on top of existing online communities
  • The irony of relying on pattern matching when investing in the future potential of companies
  • How venture is becoming a hospitality business
