<p>What makes a “perfect marriage” between founders and investors? In this episode of The Recursive podcast we explore investor’s dilemma and founder’s mindset with Pedja Predin. He is General Partner at Fifth Quarter Ventures, a new early-stage venture capital fund creating global success stories from Southeast Europe.

Pedja has over 12 years of experience in venture capital, corporate strategy, business development, and global expansion. Before establishing his own fund, he was a venture capital investor at South Central Ventures.

In his conversation with Irina Obushtarova, he talks about:

- The importance of the diaspora bringing in new perspectives
- The challenge of cultural and historical attitudes towards feedback
- Chemistry and collaboration between investors and founders
