Episode notes

I'm just really happy to see such an honest candid dialogue very early in this game. We were sounding the alarm bells for, you know, two years about how frothy this was. I try to center all my discussions when we make an invest around the customers and product in the team. And so for the people who've gotten really good at performance and selling, now it's time to get good at hiring great team members that are going to kick ass managing them well.

Today, Acquired’s David Rosenthal joins us. We discuss their recent Climate Pledge Arena Show (1:37), the new fundraising environment, and what the best founders and VC firms are doing (21:29), and we dig into the New York Times' latest hit piece on Glossier CEO Emily Weiss (37:40). We wrap with an optimistic look at what Australian billionaire and Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes is doing to take on Australia's biggest polluter (1:00:59).
