Episode notes

The launch accelerator is a 16 week course that occurs over those 16 weeks, remotely. Because of the pandemic, we went fully remote to accommodate founders from around the world. We've had a number of companies become worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And in one case, a billion dollar company has already come out of the first ten or so editions of the acceleration.

First, Jason plays "Guess the Fake Startup" (1:30). Then, Jason interviews four founders he invested in (12:50):
David Park from Jenni.ai about computer copywriting assistants (18:08), Samuel Spitz from Wearloom on aggregating the resale marketplace shopping experience (28:11), Sudhama Bhatia from Track about his premium calendar client (40:35) and Marie Ng from Llama Life on building a time-based productivity tool (51:05). To wrap up the show, we have an "OK Boomer" segment where Producer Rachel talks with Gen Z marketer Erifili Gounari (01:13:25)
