Oh, Nic Brisbourne. Unlike most VCs who come on Ask a VC who are used to my rude, outspoken American ways, Brisbourne is British and therefore incredibly polite. As this interview goes on he gets more visibly uncomfortable until the end when he brings up Spotify, and I just go a little pit-bull on him.

But social graces aside, we have a fascinating chat about the investing scene in London and Europe generally. We discuss when an entrepreneur should stay in London, when they should move to the Valley, whether funding activity is picking up as it is in much of the rest of the world and the beauty of lifestyle businesses. Enjoy.
