In this episode, we sit down with a leading Silicon Valley venture capitalist to discuss how venture capital really works behind the scenes. We cover: • how investors identify billion-dollar startups • why many VCs missed companies like Netflix, Google, and Facebook • the importance of being early in venture capital • backing founders before consensus • lessons from Theranos • Bitcoin and the future of finance • how innovation actually spreads Beyond investing, this conversation explores a deeper idea: world-changing companies often look unreasonable at the beginning, and the biggest mistakes in venture capital are often the opportunities investors pass on.
