Episode notes

I use a product like 30 to 40 hours a week. It was acquired by Apple mainly for the streaming technology. And what I learned in that is that podcasts are generally too long and the format is not, you know, pretty formulaic. YouTube has the most unique podcast content. But it's just not a podcast format. So if you get the premium version, which we're sure you have, every video is just an audio feed.

In the 43rd episode Semil Shah, Partner at Haystack, joins to discuss whether the company brand name or partner matters more in VC, how he almost invested in Coinbase when it was at only $20M, the flywheel of VC and how it’s evolving and what he looks for in a founder.
