Intro

Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM, or so the saying goes.

Grant and Hammad talk about how that same sentiment has pervaded everything from Boeing to Venture, and what that means for today’s startup environment, as well as ways to address it. Hammad shares some perspectives on growth, and Grant wraps us up by talking about some founder stories from the last few eras of Venture.

We’re iterating on this as we go. Please let us know what you think.
