Welcome to the new and improved Market Mixers (so long, Stocktails) - your latest excuse to shake (not stir) up your investment ideas. Join Minotaur Capital's Ally Selby and Armina Rosenberg (aka “Arms”) as they sit down to deliver a healthy dose of investment insights alongside some cocktail chaos. In this episode, we're doing something a little different. We dive into Arms' latest research trip in the US, what it is actually like on the ground, as well as some of the companies that stood out from the 30 she saw while she was there. From a satellite company and a haircare product company, to SaaS players, biotech and medtech companies, and even the gaming company that makes GTA, we dissect the companies that really impressed, as well as two huge disappointments.
