Dominic Endicott, Partner NorthStar Ventures and author, begins his lively discussion with Ben Ashby and Tom Threlfall, CFA with a tussle over whether Crypto and Blockchain are just a distraction or solving a real economic problems.
Dominic emphasises the importance Venture Capital (VC) has had in the UK over the last 10 years: $150 billion VC money has gone into startups generating upwards of a $billion in value which becomes £2 trillion in wealth, which meaning around a third of all wealth in the last decade has come from VC as a source. However, this is concentrated in London and the South East.
Dominic believes it in the next decade we will see a more even spread across the UK leading to an opportunity for wealth creation and economic models. The discussion also touches on how VCs can have a critical role in regions, while still generating returns.
