Chris Douvos of Ahoy Capital, discusses the evolution of the emerging managers segment Pt.1

In this new episode of Capital Conversations, we explore “How the Emerging Managers segment in Venture Capital has evolved since 2010” with Chris Douvos. Chris Douvos founded Ahoy Capital in 2018, focusing on backing emerging venture capital fund managers. With nearly two decades in venture capital, he's a pioneer in the micro-VC movement. At Ahoy Capital, the focus is on intentionally right-sized investment vehicles, believing that size can hinder performance. They prioritize concentrated portfolios, anchored by top-performing VC managers, alongside dynamic emerging managers and co-investments. With experience catalyzing leading managers since the early micro-VC days, Ahoy pursues a conviction-based strategy, backing dynamic nascent managers and companies with sustainable competitive advantages or leveraging innovation ecosystems. *****Through our research, thought leadership, and annual program, IMD’s Venture Asset Management Initiative aims to demystify venture asset management in Switzerland and across Europe.To find out more about IMD visit imd.orgFor more information about our Venture Asset Management Initiative click hereThis podcast was editorialized by Raphael Grieco, VC Researcher at IMD
