Successful disruption is difficult to spot. Ideas are endless, talk is cheap, and many founders flourish, while others fall to the wayside.

How can anyone be sure what will be a truly successful venture, and what’s simply hype (or talk)?

We asked Joe Medved, a Partner at Lerer Hippeau, a highly active seed-stage investment firm that funds innovative founders across nearly all industries. He came on the #FlipMyFunnel podcast, where Dave Knox interviewed him as part of Dave’s #TakeoverTuesday series.

Here’s what we’re unpacking today: 

• Venture capital funding
• How to determine whether a venture will be successful
• As a VC, what key trends does Joe see on digital disruption?
• What is at the foundation of disruptive brand creation?
• Are emerging digitally native vertical brands going to expand, or get acquired by bigger players?
• How is voice going to impact brands?
• How can business leaders evaluate new entrepreneurs with ideas they have no experience in?

• How Twitter helps you keep up with disruption

 

This #TakeoverTuesday episode of the #FlipMyFunnel podcast is cohosted by Dave Knox, and special guest Joe Medved.
