Tech Talks

Venture capital has a diversity problem, but talking about it won't fix it. In this episode, David sits down with Anu Adebajo, the new CEO of Newton Venture Program, to explore the real barriers to entry in VC. 
Together they discuss why AI isn't the biggest threat to junior roles, the hidden bias of private school education, and why fixing the pipeline requires unlocking new LP capital, not just more panels.

We might soon be ‘agent bosses’. But if we only skim-read AI’s work, then the human handbrake might already be broken. As we trade deep expertise for surface-level summaries across a broader range of tasks, we might make mistakes that lead to massive reputational failure. On today’s show David is in conversation with Oaka Studio co-founder Lucy Bourne, over a pre-conference coffee in Westminster. The key lesson: real depth and considered human validation are your ultimate safeguards.

They explore the convergence of physical and virtual worlds, why her team abandoned traditional 2D video for Unreal Engine during the pandemic, and the deep human need for communal digital experiences.

AI and deepfakes are dominating the security conversation, but what is actually causing breaches?
David recently talked to Ed Williams, VP of EMEA Consulting at LevelBlue (a 20-year Pentesting veteran who has hacked everything from submarines to rockets) on the back of a new industry report.
They chat about the need to explore vulnerabilities hidden in complex supply chains, how AI is a double-edged sword, and why the unglamorous "three P's" of security matter more than the latest technology.
