On this week's podcast, Charles Arthur finds out what's in the pipeline for BlackBerry-maker RIM after the company's smartphone was caught up in the London riots. He discovers the future of a company that recently announced plans to cut 2,000 jobs, and a huge loss in market share in one of its key territories – the US – but how its new operating systems and its handheld Playbook should change its fortunes.
We also demystify the process of getting funding for your great digital idea. DFJ Espirit's Nic Brisbourne, the funder behind travel social network WAYN and social media consultancy service Conversocial, and author of Equity Kicker, is in the studio to talk us through Series A, Angels and VC funding. He also drops a few hints about the next big thing: where and what is going to make money over the next five years.
