The Logan Bartlett Show Industry Episode: Zach Weinberg (Founder, Curie.Bio) on VC Predictions, Remote Work, and the AI Wave
NASDAQ Closing Bell Ceremony
- Zach Weinberg shares a story about attending a NASDAQ closing bell ceremony.
- The ceremony was for an infrastructure index launch, with various companies participating.
Remote Work Setup
- Consider a remote-first work model with regular in-person meetings, like Curie Bio's approach.
- Meet every six weeks for several days in a central location.
Slack's Downsides
- Slack's ease of use can lead to poorly thought-out decisions made in group chats, rather than dedicated meetings.
- Quick ad-hoc audio calls are essential for effective remote communication.
Zach Weinberg is the Founder and CEO of Curie.Bio, a $520M fund transforming biotech.
In the episode, Logan and Zach banter on the current state of the venture capital industry, as well as everything from remote work, artificial intelligence, and founder advice.
Prior to Curie.Bio, Zach was the Co-Founder at Flatiron Health (acquired by Roche) and the Co-Founder at Invite Media (acquired by Google).
