Curiosity and inquiry are born during our early childhood experiences. Just ask today's guest, Lee Jacobs. As an adult, Lee has gone on to become a founder and partner of venture capital firms, Long Journey Ventures, and Edelweis.vc. Lee has a penchant for helping new startups and businesses that were deemed ‘weird' in their infant years, such as Fitbit, Blue Bottle, Space X, and Uber. Lee's inquisitive nature can be traced back to his formative years. Since both of his parents worked throughout his childhood, Lee spent much of his childhood in the care of his Trinidadian nanny, Suzanne, before entering a small Jewish preschool. After preschool, Lee's parents were able to place him in a small, progressive K-8 private school. The close-knit nature of these formative years allowed Lee's curiosity to blossom, while his grade school's hands-on, student-paced approach furthered his love for learning and questioning. In my interview with Lee, we discuss the skills he learned to embrace from his early childhood experiences and how these experiences influenced his investment career as an adult. We discuss the importance of mastery-based learning that allows children to navigate through curriculum at their own pace, and how promoting a love for discovery early on can foster the qualities needed for the fast-paced, ever-changing world that we live in. In this episode, you'll hear: How Lee's childhood influenced his love for learning and career choice as an adult Why curiosity is such an important quality to foster during childhood The benefits of child-centered, mastery-based learning The importance of exposing children to the world outside of their own neighborhood Supporting Resources: If you want to connect with Lee, go to www.leejacobs.co *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.

Elaine Wherry (@elainewherry) joins Erik on this episode to give us the playbook for recruiting for your startup. Elaine was co-founder of Meebo and is now investing at Edelweiss VC (https://www.edelweiss.vc) alongside co-founder Lee Jacobs (https://www.leejacobs.co).Elaine explains her superpower — being able to build quantitative systems around qualitative characteristics. She talks about how to evaluate candidates with your team and the way she uses TaskRabbit workers to calibrate her team’s assessment of a candidate. Elaine discusses why work simulations are so important in hiring and breaks down how you create a good simulation. She explains why she asks behavioral questions exclusively in interviews. She tells founders that it's okay (and ideal) if they are spending more than half of their time recruiting. Elaine points out that an employee’s experience on the first day is the best predictor of the length of their tenure.She talks about the “recruiter honeypot” that she set up — a fake profile on LinkedIn of a Javascript programmer. She looked at how recruiters approached it in order to potentially hire those recruiters to her company.She also addresses some of the biggest misconceptions about recruiting and talks through how to deal with some of the thorniest aspects of managing people, including annual reviews, compensation, and having difficult conversations.Quotes From This Episode“The test of a work simulation is that any smart, well-intentioned person should fail that simulation.”“[When interviewing someone] within the first five minutes, you have a tendency to have a reaction. It’s easy to fall into first impressions, but it’s your job to challenge that first response.”“If people just want to get their review to find out whether they got their raise or their bonus, that isn’t going to be a great conversation, so my goal is to de-couple that.”“People always seem to care more about where they stand in the organization than they do about where they stand outside the organization.”Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.

On this episode of Venture Stories, Erik is joined by Lee Jacobs (@leejacobs), partner at Edelweiss Capital. He recently wrote a great post about breaking up with his co-founder at a previous company. Lee and Erik discuss the post, some of the thorny issues around co-founder relationships, and investing strategy more broadly.Lee tells the story of the startup he co-founded and how he came to realize that he and the company needed to part ways. He talks about what he did well in the situation, including getting third-party coaching, and what he would do differently next time. Lee’s former co-founder was one of his groomsmen at Lee’s wedding, so in his case things worked out for the best in the long-run.He talks about how to avoid blowing up your startup via a "co-founder breakup" and why open and honest communication is so important. They talk about having a “startup prenup” between the co-founders, how to pick a co-founder, and why these relationships are analogous to other types of non-work relationships.They also talk about investing more broadly, including how Lee and Erik have gotten into investing globally, how to choose founders to back, why as Lee says “it’s okay to be a generalist,” and why he is sector-agnostic when it comes to companies he backs.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.
