An original podcast by WiiN

The Capital

One city. One visionary. One conversation about the future of capital.

Recorded in the rooms where allocation decisions get made. Season One: Dubai.

About the show

A documentary of global capital.

Every year, trillions of dollars move through a small number of cities, directed by a few hundred people. Almost none of them explain how they think in public. The Capital sits down with the ones willing to.

This is not another entrepreneur podcast. It is a documentary of global capital, built around one question: how is the future being financed, and by whom?

Each season is recorded in a single capital city, because capital has a geography. The money building the next twenty years is concentrated in a handful of places, and the people managing it, sovereign wealth executives, family office principals, ministers, fund managers, founders, rarely sit for long-form conversations. Here they do. Properly researched, generous with time, and free of promotional agenda.

The format

The Capital Questions.

One leader per episode. One investment philosophy, examined slowly. Conversations run long because the good material never arrives in the first twenty minutes.

Every episode closes with the Capital Questions, a fixed set put to each guest without exception.

  • What does capital mean to you.
  • The best investment you never made.
  • The form of capital humanity is currently destroying.

Season by season, the answers accumulate into something rare: a record of how the people who allocate the world's money actually think, in their own words, side by side.

Season One

Dubai: Capital of Opportunity.

The first season is recorded where WiiN was founded, in the city that has become the working base for private capital between London and Singapore. Family offices relocating. Sovereign capital deploying. Founders arriving weekly. Season One documents that shift through the people driving it.

Future seasons travel. Riyadh. Doha. Singapore. London. New York. Each city gets its own thesis, its own guests, its own answer to the question of what capital is for.
