Gareth sits down with Alexander Kalis - investor, entrepreneur, and founder of the B.O.R.I.N.G. Investment Club - to discuss why “boring is beautiful” in SMB acquisitions. From his early hedge fund career and running a $1bn global asset manager, to backing unicorns and Oxford spinouts, Alexander brings institutional-grade insight to the ETA world.
