Innovation is risky — but the way we fund it doesn’t have to be reckless. In this episode, Greg and Daniel unpack why traditional funding models fail innovation and introduce the Next Fund — a smarter, more strategic way to allocate capital. With vivid case studies (France’s solar road failure and Kenya’s M-Pesa triumph), they demonstrate how disciplined funding and adaptive governance lead to game-changing outcomes. Plus, they unveil the Next Fund Manager, an AI-powered tool designed to align capital decisions with long-term strategy, manage risk, and build serious capital.
