Today we're happy to introduce you to Mike Reid, Founder and senior partner at Frog Capital, a growth stage fund focusing on the opportunity emerging between venture capital and private equity. Mike brings perspectives on a part of VC that we rarely speak about, but many founders need; the intersection point between VC and Private Equity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- All about Mike and Frog’s focus on risk capital without the pressure to grow at all cost
- Why Mike bets on M&A deals of 150-250 M€ rather than unicorns and how this relates to building a portfolio of Ferraris, Landrovers and BMWs
- Deep dive on Mike’s and Frog’s scale-up methodology
