Founders Fund’s newest partner Ryan Beiermeister spent 14 years building at Palantir, Meta and OpenAI. She saw the same product create both real-world harm and extraordinary human connection. What's her biggest lesson? Our full convo (her first one ever!) on The High Flyers here: curiositycentre.com/the-high… @traestephens @eag @zebulgar @micsolana @JTLonsdale @ryanameliab

Big congrats to @davidneckstein, @MaxJunestrand and the Legora team on today's $550M Series E fundraise announcement w @GavinSBaker leading it! The man himself D.Eckstein came on The High Flyers recently and it's one of my most loved episodes to do. (I believe this was one of his first in-depth interviews ever 🙏) curiositycentre.com/the-high… (I have no financial incentives here - just a David fan boy) + kudos goes also to @ellenjdasilva!

Still one of the best moments in a business interview ever.

What do Jensen Huang and Rick Rubin have in common? Not much. And that’s what makes this fascinating. @AbridgeHQ CEO @ShivdevRao shares what he’s learned from both — including why he brought Rick Rubin into a room full of healthcare executives to rethink how they approach their work.

@venkyganesan had a big week! High Fliers: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… 20VC: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… He's a man of many talents, but I'm most astonished by how, from his inkling to come to the US, through this very day, he has plotted audatious goals and persevered to achieve them. From his path into venture, then to Menlo, leading Menlo's fund strategy, exceptional team building, and more, he continues to deliver and always with grace. Lucky to be your partner VG!

Innovators → imitators → idiots. That’s how Menlo Ventures Partner, Venky Ganesan described investment cycles. So I asked him: which phase are we in today in VC? _ Listen to our full EP #284 on The High Flyers here: curiositycentre.com/the-high… @venkyganesan @deedydas @mvernal

Keith Rabois refused to hire an EA for a decade. Then @jack told him his calendar habit was making everyone around him less effective. Find out the full story in this short video.

You probably know Venky Ganesan as a Partner at Menlo Ventures — an early Anthropic investor. But at 16, he left India alone for a tiny town in rural Washington. He calls what happened next a “culture shock.” Listen to our full convo here: curiositycentre.com/the-high… - @venkyganesan @MenloVentures @mmurph @yee_darcy @bznotes @someshdash

Given his style and charm, you might think @venkyganesan grew up with a silver spoon in Mayfair, but listen to this for the true story of risk and grit that made this man who I admire so much!

So nice to hear Venky’s story!

What if Frank Slootman never made the second call? Cotaue's Growth Fund Co-Lead David Schneider — who went played a critical role in scaling Data Domain from zero customers to $1B+ and ServiceNow from ~$100M to $5B.... was initially rejected by Data Domain. Then Frank called him back. When I asked how often he thinks about what might have happened without that call, David's answer is fascinating. A great story about how second chances can change a career.
