Delian Asparouhov (@zebulgar), principal at Founders Fund, joins Erik on this episode.
They discuss:
- Delian’s essays on what he’s learned from working with Keith Rabois at Founders Fund, and why he says “osmosis is the best way to learn.”
- How they evaluate talent in general, and specifically founders.
- Why he says that the more technical the company, the better the founder has to be at fundraising and storytelling.
- Why they are more excited about lending these days.
- Companies that help you improve your sleep with personalized solutions.
- What the “business equation” means for a company and Keith’s rules of thumb for figuring out whether it’s viable or not.
- What to look for when interviewing executives, and the difference between value-creating and value-protecting positions.
