Hey there,

Our guest today on The Consumer VC podcast is Ali Hamed, co-founder, and Partner of CoVenture.

Ali is one of the more unique guests we've had on the show because he underwrites both equity and debt into technology startups. So in this episode, we discuss traditional venture capital, but also different models to fund a business as well.

We also talk about:

  • Amazon vs. Shopify rollups

  • Which social media platforms are winning the battle for creators

  • Why credit is an underused source of capital for startups

  • The future of media and content

Thanks for listening.
