Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.
This is our Wednesday show, where we niche down to a single topic, think about a question, and unpack the rest. This week, Natasha chatted with Alex about ego, how recent news from Sam Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth Holmes gives us a window into how it works, and impacts on the tech and venture landscape.
We talked about:
- What Holmes and Bankman-Fried have in common, from centralized ownership to a cult of personality
- The differences between the two entrepreneurs, and why their stories tend to blur together
- How Adam Neumann, Elon Musk and others fit into the conversation
- Learning lessons from startups from a chaotic, and main-character-driven year
We have a lot of really fun stuff coming up in the next week or two. Thanks for sticking with Equity in 2022, and we cannot wait for 2023.
