#14 — Geoff Lewis — Noble lies and narrative violations Paradox Podcast
-
- Society & Culture
Geoff Lewis (@justGLew) is a technology investor and founder of Bedrock Capital. For episode #14, Geoff and I chatted about the noble lies that exist all around us in society, the geopolitics of TikTok, why algorithms are the new oil, how searching for narrative violations is different from contrarianism, his quest to move from Canada to the U.S. that started at age 11 and the types of founders and companies he’s looking to invest in. In 2019, Geoff was named as one of the Top 100 Venture Capitalists in the world by CB Insights and The New York Times.
Previously, as a Partner at Founders Fund for over five years, Geoff was an early lead investor in companies including Lyft, Wish, Privateer Holdings, Nubank, and RigUp. Prior to joining Founders Fund in 2012, Geoff was a founder himself. As Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Topguest (acquired), he created a loyalty software platform that counted United Airlines, Hilton Worldwide, and Virgin America as clients. Geoff is someone I’ve enjoyed getting to know online and offline. His “Temperature Check” vlog on YouTube is fantastic and his insights are both thought provoking and original.
