Elena Lavezzi on Zed Next's Venture Builder + M&A Model

Elena Lavezzi recounts 15 years as an operator: early Uber scaling Europe from ~100 to 15,000 people, go-to-market roles at Circle (USDC), and building Revolut's South Europe region across eight markets. She explains her firm's hybrid model — co-founding companies and running operations for the first 12 months, plus majority-stake M&A that keeps existing leadership teams — backed by 160-year-old Italian educational publisher Zanichelli, targeting learning tech, future of work and well-being. The segment ends mid-discussion of the ~$10 trillion learning market thesis.
