    S3 E9: Co-investing: The New Normal for Early-Stage Investing?

    Co-investing. Everyone talks about it, but how does it really work behind the scenes? In this episode of Fast Growth: The Venture Studio Way, we sit down with David Walters, Investment Director at River Capital, and Jack Worne, Head of Investor Relations at EHE, to explore the real dynamics of co-investing in early-stage startups. We get into: why every company eventually needs more than one investor around the table, what makes a strong co-investment partnership, how VCs actually divide roles post-deal, why collaboration is shaping the North’s investment scene, and how to make co-investment work for founders, not against them. Whether you're an investor trying to share risk or a founder navigating your first raise, this episode lifts the lid on what co-investing really looks like - and why it’s fast becoming the norm. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find out more about our (S)EIS AI Growth Fund here: https://ehe.ai/investor-platform/ ❗Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.
