Hi All, this is probably one of the interviews I am most proud of. I would so love to hear your thoughts on our chat with David. Would love to know your feedback?
In Today's Episode You Will Learn: 1.) How did David make his move into the wonderful world of venture from being a founder and 'super angel'? 2.) Question from Spencer Lazar @ General Catalyst: How has David evolved as an investor over time? Has his strategy and approach altered? 3.) David has experienced some immense cycles both up and down, how has he seen the seed funding environment evolve? 4.) What was it like working with Chris Dixon from a16z? What advice would David give to someone looking to maintain or create a network around them? What other sources of deal flow do you utilize? How do you most like to be approached? 5.) How did FC's investment in Uber come about? What does David make of the regulatory hurdles Uber face with regards to employees or contractors? What is the future for Uber? 6.) What can we expect from Founder Collective? What is David excited about and why?
Both interviewer and interviewee having wonderful accents that make for easy listening! Moreover, I really enjoyed hearing Dave's story again (despite working with him, we don't get to step back all that often). He's an inspiration and a testament to hard work, forging strong relationships and a bit of serendipity. I feel lucky to be his partner!
