Founders and Funders with Susannah Streeter – Podcast

The Founders and Funders podcast brings together founders, investors and industry experts to examine what it takes to build and scale ambitious businesses in the UK.

The podcast is hosted by Susannah Streeter, our Chief Investment Strategist. Susannah was a senior correspondent and financial news presenter at the BBC’s Economics and Business Unit, anchoring programmes on global stock markets and economic developments.

The podcast covers venture capital, private equity, innovation, emerging sectors and the people, businesses and ideas shaping investment. Whether you’re a founder, investor or simply interested in UK business, Founders & Funders offers an informed perspective on the opportunities ahead.

How do you go about spotting a good company? What factor matters more than any other? Can the UK compete in the AI race? How could startups scale into truly global companies? What role does the SEIS play? Are proposed tax changes driving entrepreneurs away?

Susannah discusses this and much more with Stephen Page, SFC Capital’s Founder and CEO, and Ian Connatty, British Business Bank’s Managing Partner. Between them, they have backed thousands of young businesses. Few people have a better view of the challenges and opportunities facing UK entrepreneurs.
