Amir Kabir, Founding & Managing Partner at Overlook Ventures, joins hosts James Benham and Rob Galbraith to reimagine risk in the age of AI - what the last decade of insurtech got wrong, where the next wave of opportunity actually lives, and why "liability is getting weird" is an understatement. Amir spent the first chapter of his career in Germany, building enterprise software at a Karlsruhe startup that was eventually acquired by a Silicon Valley company. In 2013 he immigrated to the US for an MBA at Georgetown, became the third person on the founding team at Munich Re Ventures, and helped grow that fund from $50M to over $1B. He later served as General Partner at AV8 Ventures leading the financial services practice before launching Overlook Ventures to invest full-time at the intersection of risk and frontier technology.
