Recorded live in Notting Hill, London, this episode of Behind the Capital explores the world of early-stage investing in hard tech and techno-industrial innovation.

You hear from Rob Eloff, Partner at Tamarack Global, as he shares his journey into venture capital and the thinking behind the firm’s investment approach. He explains why the focus is shifting back to the physical world, how AI and simulation are shaping new industrial opportunities, and why sectors like space, energy, defence and advanced manufacturing are drawing more attention from investors. He also shares what he looks for in founders, why resilience and self-awareness matter, and how the right capital partner helps companies move from early conviction to long-term value.
