Miguel Armaza sits down with David Haber, General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), one of the largest Venture Capital funds in the world, founded in 2009 by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz.
Based in NYC, David focuses exclusively on investing in global fintech. Before a16z, he founded Bond Street, a NY fintech that aimed to transform small business lending in the US. Bond Street was eventually acquired by Goldman Sachs in 2017.
We discuss:
- Company building lessons from his experience at Bond Street and why he always looks for people with “humble confidence”
- The power of storytelling and why David believes effective storytelling is crucial for entrepreneurs and investors
- The future of fintech
- Key qualities of a good venture capital investor
- A look inside a16z and the vision of Mark and Ben for the firm… and a lot more!
