I had an engaging conversation with Gabriele Campi, where we explored several thought-provoking topics:

1. Italy and Venture Capital – Italians have been great traders for centuries; around 1500, their GDP was 60% higher than the European average. Yet, Italy lags in venture capital, especially in biotech. What factors contribute to this gap?
2. People Skills – On what dimensions does Gabriele consider himself a better judge of people?
3. Investment Decision-Making and Evolution – What are the costly vs. cheap signals entrepreneurs emit, and how do these inform investment decisions?
4. Transferable Skills – Are there skills Gabriele gained as an investor that he now leverages as a CEO?

…and much more.

Thanks for watching!
