Today, we're happy to welcome you to Andrea Traversone, Managing Partner at Amadeus Capital Partners. Since 1997, the firm has raised over $1bn for investment and used it to back more than 180 companies. Andrea\u2019s experience as a VC is something to envy, having lived and invested through the boom and bust of three bubbles!

What you\u2019ll learn in this episode:

- The views and reflections on the current market - by a man who has lived and invested through the boom and bust of three bubbles!

- Why Andrea loves their operational model of having a strong in-house backoffice, involving them early and creating cross-fund deal teams for each investment.

- Andrea\u2019s thoughts on carry distribution in VC funds, why junior personnel should be included in the scheme and how they\u2019re setting aside significant carry reserves for employees growing in the firm
- Why they define DeepTech on the company level and what\u2019s behind the three core pillars of 1) tech must be a key differentiator, 2) the startup must own the IP, and 3) tech must be the key to the company\u2019s operational leverage.

- How the 3 P\u2019s of Power dynamics, Post-rationalization and Persistence creates a virtuous cycle for VCs building their fund narrative
