In this episode, I sit down with Cam Rail and Joseph Pizzolato, founders of Defiant VC.
Defiant is a venture capital fund based in London and Lisbon. They focus on B2B SaaS and Fintech and invest in Seed ($1-3m) and Series A ($2-10m) across Europe and occasionally the US. Mostly like technical products, those with complexity, moats and barriers to entry, where we have deep expertise and an ability to add value.
Cam is the product mind of the VC. With past experience as a derivatives trader and founder, he went on working as product lead with Creativemass and Tropicana Sunrise.
Joseph has a huge experience as an investor in Europe, coming from a strong VC and finance background, he invested over time on some big names like Travelperks, Wise and Marqeta.
With them we will explore the high and low of launching a new VC fund, but also the future of the fintech market, the importance of a highly transversal background and what it takes to build a billion dollar startup in Europe.
