What happens when the biggest VCs, LPs, and founders cram into one basketball stadium?
Deals get made, gossip flies, and Dave and Brit Morin find themselves in a very questionable hotel situation.
Reporting live from LA, they break down everything happening at Upfront Summit—or at least, everything they overheard by the coffee station.
On deck this episode:
• is Bezos finally embracing his role as a media mogul?
• Meta’s $200B spend vs. Grok’s lightning-fast scale
• what really went down in Silicon Valley?
All that, plus Dave’s latest case for why everyone should quit social media, in this Episode #88 of More or Less.
