An Interview with Zuleika Salter: Partner and Head of Private Growth Capital at Cavendish

In this episode of the Why Invest? podcast, hosts James Carter and Alexandra Buchan-Heelas are joined by Zuleika Salter, Partner and Head of Private Growth Capital at Cavendish.

The conversation explores the evolving landscape of venture capital in the UK and Zuleika’s own unconventional path into finance. They unpack the differences between venture capital and private equity, the role of advisors in high-pressure growth journeys, and how founders can better position themselves for funding.

Zuleika shares insights on market dynamics post-pandemic, the impact of rising interest rates on valuations, and why UK companies are staying private for longer. She also reflects on the cultural contrasts between the UK and US VC scenes, the underrepresentation of female founders in funding, and the power of diversity in investment decision-making.
