Customer Reviews
Great for understanding tech markets
As an aspiring tech entrepreneur, I feel this podcast gives me a great insight into the market, what it takes to succeed, and potential pitfalls. The 4 cohosts are refreshingly honest and unflinching in their views despite frequent pushback from the cohosts and general public. There doesn't seem to be any hidden agenda to this podcast, or even an overt agenda such as making money, the cohosts only seem interested in sharing their views. The 4 cohosts are incredibly succesful capital allocators in tech startups so those views are worthy of a listen to anybody who wants to succeed in tech.
Boring money obsessed men complain.
This is a perfect example of how men who obsess about nothing only money seem to end up enormously unhappy as a result. They are also enormous hypocrites as they believe in capitalism above all - until they need the State to bail out the banks their companies are joined at the hip with.
Best podcast going!
Best podcast going! That’s it, that’s all I need to say!
