Intro

Harry Stebbings has transformed a bedroom podcast into a media and investment conglomerate, leveraging that platform to back ten unicorns. In conversation with Bobby Molavi, head of EMEA execution services and European primary distribution for Equity Capital Markets in Equities, Stebbings discusses his journey from an 18-year-old dropout to a leading venture capitalist, exploring how distribution and brand have become the ultimate weapons in a commoditized capital market. He shares his "science of content," the shifting loyalty in early-stage investing, and why he believes Europe is currently the greatest opportunity in the venture landscape.

This session was recorded on March 4, 2026 at the 2026 Goldman Sachs Disruptive Technology Symposium in London.
