Consumer Investing in 2022 (with Brian O'Malley of Forerunner Ventures)
31 Oct 2022
We sit down with Brian O’Malley of Forerunner Ventures to talk about where in the cycle we are right now for consumer investing. We touch on the macro environment (obviously!), but also how to navigate between and around the current generation of platform incumbents, and where the next breakthrough consumer technology companies might come from. And in true Acquired Playbook fashion we talk about the benefits of focusing on niches — and how on the internet they can expand ever bigger than you might initially imagine!Links:Acquired Qualcomm Live Show at Breakpoint 2022!The 2022 Acquired Survey!The Acquired Merch StoreThe Acquired SlackSponsors:Koyfin: https://bit.ly/acquiredkoyfinNote: Acquired hosts and guests may hold assets discussed in this episode.
