We are delighted to co-organise alongside the HEC UK team and the Alumni AI and Data Club, an exclusive in-person event on "How Venture Capitalists Evaluate Investment Opportunities in an Era of Rapid Technological Change" with Marc Richard, Chair of the Angel Investors Bristol Ai Working Group.
Marc Richard is an operating partner and turnaround professional who spent twelve years rebuilding a Somerset manufacturing business through Brexit, COVID and a supply chain shock before its sale in a 2024 management buyout, preceded by eight years in corporate finance and investment consulting at UBS. He chairs the Angel Investors Bristol AI Working Group, whose Investing Through Disruption research now drives an acquisition thesis aimed at finding the businesses and sectors that offer real ground to build a defensible position from, rather than ones whose apparent strength is already quietly eroding.
