Rising interest rates have changed the game.  After a near 20 year run, VC funds and Angel investors have left the market.

However there are still opportunities for investing in startups.  It’s just that now they are a bit different.

Today we’re joined by Charles Sidman, Founder and Managing Partner of ECS Capital Partners, a firm specializing in early stage investment.

Charles' achievements include investing in over 50 startup or growth companies, chairing multiple ventures, and serving on prestigious boards and associations globally.

In this episode of A Seat at The Table, Charles will be giving us insights into the unique early-stage entrepreneurial asset class.

In this podcast Charles will be discussing:

- The risks associated with this asset class and how investors can protect themselves.

- How investors can unlock the potential of early-stage companies for maximum financial returns.

- Why he favors ‘deep tech’ enterprises over other enterprises.  And how he evaluates their potential to scale and determine their true competitive advantage.
