“In downturns of any sort there are huge opportunities and those that are brave and bold will come out far stronger than if they didn’t have the downturn at all. Winners are created in downturns.” Jon Lerner, Smedvig Capital Earlier this month we had the pleasure of speaking to Managing Director at Smedvig Capital (https://www.smedvigcapital.com/) , Jon Lerner. Since 1996 Smedvig Capital has partnered with and helped scale over 70 companies in the UK and Nordics. Jon is currently a board member of Spirable, Masabi, POQ, Infinity, Captify and The Smart Cube and has previously served on the boards of Tusker, ITIS and Selstor. Having worked with so many tech-enabled companies, we thought he was the perfect person to question about the future of tech companies after Covid-19 and get an insight into how Smedvig has worked closely with their portfolio in recent weeks. In this episode Jon shares an honest insight into the inner workings of Smedvig Capital on a regular day compared to the current situation, and how he believes Covid-19 will accelerate the progress of certain tech industries and create flexible working possibilities.
