This week, Natasha interviewed Ankur Nagpal, the entrepreneur behind Teachable, Ocho, and Vibe Capital - Ankur's $70 million venture fund, raised last year from over 200 investors.
Today, we're talking about:
- The future of Solo GPs and Ankur's choice to shrink Vibe Capital's fund size
- How Ankur built, sold, pivoted and launched in public
- The upside of building in public vs building in private
- The importance of brand and succession
Of course, we ended with a lightning round of questions - including the meaning behind Ankur's tattoo.
