My guest today is Michael Sackler, founder and managing partner at Rooks Nest Ventures, a London-based early-stage venture capital firm that invests at the intersection of technology, media and entertainment.

Before Rooks Nest Ventures, Mike founded and led Rooks Nest Entertainment, a successful production company of indie hit films like My Brother the Devil, The Witch and Obvious Child.

Naturally the conversation starts by breaking down how the film industry works behind the scenes and what was it like to see the rise of Netflix from the sellers side.

Then we move on to their investment thesis and how it has evolved over time, why media infrastructure is one of the biggest opportunities right now, the value of communities and so much more.

Please enjoy this conversation with Michael Sackler.
