New Episode of Trends With Friends: Financial Nihilism and the Path Back to Fundamentals

With Frank Rotman

Hey Friends,

Yesterday on Trends with Friends we dove into market behavior and venture capital trends with none other than Frank Rotman of QED Investors.

Frank takes us on a no-BS exploration of how the markets are evolving and the difference between playing the speculation game versus investing for the long haul.

WE COVER:

  • The current state of VC and how the Darwin Effect plays out

  • AI narratives: separating hype from reality

  • Why market nihilism is alive and well

  • The unglamorous brilliance of infrastructure investments
