Solid podcast

Good crew, I actually LOL at Alex’s jokes on occasion. Generally informative content that has a good level of detail on actual numbers / datapoints. Worth listening for people in the startup world.

As others have noted, the virtue-signaling gets quite annoying at times. I don’t mind the occasional opinion and I often agree, but it gets pretty cringey at times.

So energetic!

A must-listen if you want to get caught up on startup news. The energy Alex and Mary Ann bring to the show is so refreshing and conversational. You can tell these hosts really care about the stories they cover!
