Episode notes

I was doing angel investing on the side. Yeah, I didn't just, I was like retire in the sense of like go and sit on the beach, but we're tiring the way that I'm retired. And so then Curie starts to be, you're going to go retire and the infamous Tom Rodriguez comes and says, hey, I've got this idea. That's what could have been in this 50% podcast, 50% investing. It was going to be a career VC, which is what was that four hours a week? The last year of flat iron was during COVID.

In the 54th episode of The Logan Bartlett Show Zach Weinberg returns to share everything from “catching the bug” of the internet in college, to founding and exiting 2 companies, to his latest venture Curie.Bio; a drug discovery co-pilot and seed investment firm focused on Biotech. Lots of interesting comparisons drawn between Biotech today and the early days of tech.
