Episode 0 – Why Emerging Forward Exists

Emerging Forward is a short, focused podcast about how capital actually moves between Europe and emerging markets including MEA, APAC (with some emerging Europe in the mix), beyond the warm‑intro VC deals everyone talks about. Each episode breaks down real patterns from investors, and founders: from sourcing, structure cross‑border rounds, and navigate on‑the‑ground constraints. Hosted by Adi, an associate and ex‑founder working with investors and early‑stage startups across Europe, MEA, APAC, the show is designed for investors, emerging managers, and resilient founders who care about mechanics, not just narratives. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit emergingforward.substack.com
