Colmore in Conversation Episode 6 – We’re Joined by MMC Ventures
In our latest podcast, Richard Meek is joined by two brilliant guests from MMC Ventures: Advika Jalan, Head of Research, and Nishil Patel, Director and Head of Private Client Fundraising.

The conversation covers some of the most topical areas in tech and investment, from recent developments in AI to a closer look at EIS investing. Advika brings a wide-ranging perspective on AI, from its early development through to today’s generative and agentic models, as well as where the technology may be heading next.
Nishil helps unpack EIS investing – what it is, how it works, who it can benefit, and why he believes it has an important role to play in supporting UK economic growth.
It’s a thought-provoking episode, full of interesting insight and the occasional piece of trivia. While there is understandable apprehension around rapidly developing technology, particularly AI, we hope the conversation offers a little reassurance that it is not here to steal everyone’s jobs just yet. From a business perspective, Advika shares why AI should be embraced rather than feared, while also making clear that without human judgement, trust and connection, it cannot replicate what it means to be human.
We hope you enjoy listening. As ever, if you have any feedback or there are subjects you would like us to cover in future episodes, please do get in touch.
