13 attendees and 1 interested

The HEC UK Data and Finance Clubs are delighted to invite you to their next event, in partnership with the Franco-British Data Society: 

Investing Through Disruption: 

Where Defensibility Suriveves Cognitive Automation

with Marc Richard

Thursday 22nd October at 6:30pm

HEC UK House, 43 Parker Street London WC2B 5PS

What actually holds when the model changes? For Founders and Investors to explore which parts of a business hold their value in the AI era. Every founder has been told AI is coming for their business, and every investor has started asking about it in due diligence without quite knowing what a good answer sounds like. 

 This session isn't a talk about AI. It's a live debate: as AI takes over more thinking work, which parts of a business will still be worth paying for, and which only seemed safe because no one had challenged them yet?

ABOUT THE SPEAKER 

Marc Richard is an operating partner and turnaround professional who spent twelve years rebuilding a Somerset manufacturing business through Brexit, COVID and a supply chain shock before its sale in a 2024 management buyout, preceded by eight years in corporate finance and investment consulting at UBS. He chairs the Angel Investors Bristol AI Working Group, whose Investing Through Disruption research now drives an acquisition thesis aimed at finding the businesses and sectors that offer real ground to build a defensible position from, rather than ones whose apparent strength is already quietly eroding.
