In this episode of the Frontier Markets Podcast, we have a conversation with Kiyan Zandiyeh, the CEO of Sturgeon Capital. Sturgeon Capital is a thesis driven investment firm, that invests across VC and PE in regions such as Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and more. This is one of my favourite episodes, in which we cover: What are the lessons we can learn from historic What are the most enduring, valuable, and high growth potential assets for frontier markets? How does one build a process for sourcing, selecting, and cultivating these? What are the ways to think about macro factors in frontier markets? What does a 30+ year time horizon unlock when thinking about frontier markets? What does it mean to build a meaningful life? What are the lessons we can learn from great founders in markets like Iran and Kazakhstan? I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!
