In this transcript of a podcast episode, host Aarish Shah interviews Antonio Avitabile, the Managing Director for Sony Ventures Corporation in Europe. They discuss the shift in Sony's investment approach, moving from off-balance sheet investments to a more formalized fund structure. Avitabile explains that the shift was driven by the need for speed and the challenge of convincing engineers within the company to buy into external technologies.
