Can VCs Identify New Markets? with Hussein Kanji (Hoxton Ventures)

Recorded on September 11, 2020.
Hoxton Ventures, the London-based seed-stage fund, is best known for backing British unicorns Babylon Health, Darktrace and Deliveroo — three companies that helped create the market categories they now compete so fiercely within. Meanwhile, according to Dealroom, Hoxton’s maiden fund has the highest ratio of unicorns to investments. But what does it take to spot a future unicorn in Europe or beyond? And can VCs really identify new markets before they exist? These are just some of the questions we’ll be putting to Hoxton founding partner Hussein Kanji.
