Reflecting on early days and important hires

This encore episode is a recording of a special event where Bill Gates was interviewed in San Francisco by Julia Hartz, co-founder of Eventbrite. It originally took place in 2018 in front of a live audience of Village Global founders and friends of the firm. We are honored to count Bill Gates among our luminary LPs whose financial capital and engagement power the next wave of Village Global founders.

They covered:

- Gates’s entrepreneurial journey starting Microsoft, including the most important turning points in the early years of the company.

- His thinking on work-life balance for founders and what he would do differently if he was starting again.

- What he’s learned from the next generation of founders.

- His perspective on the current tech landscape.

- His views on philanthropy, global development, education, and much more.
