Greg Bettinelli of Upfront Ventures on 'Walking Tall', Large Secondary Markets, and Innovation (EP.168)

On this episode we discuss how the movie Let it Ride is the original speculation meme - long before Wall Street Bets was cool. We talk about why Greg’s panicked about fires. And of course, we talk markets – finding those markets where the secondary market can be bigger than the primary market. How this is all leading to the fractionalizing of shares; and the eventual need for a regulatory framework. We close with the figurative fires of how much is happening around consumer and business behavior, particularly post COVID, and Greg’s search for great teams in what he calls the “founder-market fit” Guest - Greg Bettinelli, Partner at Upfront Ventures  howardlindzon.com, upfront.com  Twitter: @howardlindzon, @gregbettinelli, @upfrontvc, @knutjensen  linkedin.com/in/gregbettinelli  #fintech #invest #investment #venturecapital #stockmarket #finance
