Episode notes
INSIGHT

One Deal Doesn’t Prove A Market Rebound

  • Databricks' $1B Mosaic buy feels like a tentative M&A thaw, but one deal doesn't prove a market-wide rebound.
  • Bankers and investors still expect skittish demand and heavier anchoring for IPOs despite brighter sentiment.
INSIGHT

Founders Have High Mental-Health Prevalence

  • Founders show far higher rates of mental-health conditions, making mental-health tooling a central issue in startup culture.
  • Dave Morin argues Silicon Valley should treat founder health like pro sports invests in athlete optimization.
ADVICE

Treat Founder Health Like Athlete Training

  • Invest in proactive, research-backed health programs for founders rather than ignoring mental-health risks.
  • Treat founder care like athletic training: fund therapies, sleep, nutrition, and recovery to protect investor capital and teams.
