With the auto industry spreading its wings — sometimes literally — into things like making silicon chips and flying taxis, investors need to broaden their portfolios. This may include investing in a wide variety of technologies and industries. 

On this episode of Transmission, Sebastian Blanco and Grace Sharkey look at the investment strategy one company is taking for the future of automotive transport.

They welcome Reilly Brennan, general partner at Trucks Venture Capital, to the show to discuss where Trucks is putting its money and how it is betting on the future growth of transportation. Brennan also discusses Trucks’ progressive policies, like a company ban on “manels,” or men-only discussion panels.
