big bets on cheap chairs

Welcome to Big Bets on Cheap Chairs! The podcast where we talk to dealmakers from art, sport, music, and science who find outliers early. How do they spot the next big thing? How does it compare to early stage venture capital investing at NAP? In this new podcast series, the Partners at our investment firm Mey & Fabi draw the parallels.

Some of the best ideas come from borrowing solutions across completely different fields. Spotting potential before it’s obvious, making big bets on people and building relationships aren’t unique to the startup ecosystem. Artist managers in music do it. General managers in sports do it. Publishers in gaming do it.

We sit down with them to map the parallels, learn from each other and challenge how things are being done in our very own industry. It’s a mirror to venture capital - offering perspective and inspiration from beyond our own startup bubble
