Since the shrinking of the minor leagues post-2020, independent baseball leagues are playing a larger role in the development picture. We ask if a non-affiliated Independent minor league team would offer a benefit to the minor league structure. We draw from the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League who played the 2023-24 season as an independent team prior to gaining afflation with the Carolina Hurricanes. We discuss how that would work and why it would offer players a viable showcase opportunity against affiliated players.

The game of college baseball is in a period of great transition in 2024, as so much has changed since 2021.

Avi Eyal is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Entrée Capital, an early-stage VC fund with a portfolio including the likes of Monday.com, Stripe, Coupang, PillPack, and Snap. From their $15M investment into Monday, Entrée distributed a whopping $1.5BN, one of their $45M funds is a whopping 37x DPI. Avi is one of the greatest venture investors you might not have heard about. In Today's Episode with Avi Eyal We Discuss: 1. The Biggest BS "Rules" in Venture Capital: Why does Avi believe that it is BS for every deal to need to be a homerun and return the fund? Why does Avi believe that signalling is real and it is BS to suggest otherwise? Why does Avi believe that it is BS that ownership is crucial to make mega venture returns? Why does Avi believe that you do not have to win every deal to be one of the best in venture? Why should venture investors not manage the positions of their companies when they go public? Why is it BS to think they have asymmetric information when the company goes public? 2. What Makes the Best Founders: Does Avi prefer first or second time entrepreneurs? Why? Would Avi rather back a founder that is an expert in a market or one that is new to a market and has the naivety to not know what is hard? Are the best CEOs the best fundraisers? How does Avi rank the following when investing; team, market, traction and technology? When Avi has misread a founder, what was it that he missed? 3. The Biggest Hits and Biggest Misses: Monday: How did Avi build such a large position in Monday over time? How did a Series A lead dropping out leading to a $250M gain for Entree? Stripe: Avi has now sold all of his Stripe position. Why? What is the three step process for Avi in selling positions? How does he know when to and what is the right amount? PillPack: Avi made $15M from PillPack's exit. What did that teach Avi about ownership? Cazoo: How was Avi the only one to make money from Cazoo? How did Avi's sell strategy help him make millions when everyone else did not sell?

“We're able to move mountains with far fewer people because of the fact that everybody in their role is exceptional and they're that 90th percentile.It's really hard to maintain that talent density, especially as we've started to scale. But we absolutely refuse to just put bodies in seats because we need them”, says Datha. On the podcast this week, Steadily's Co-Founder & COO shares her career journey. “I've spent my entire career in the insurance industry. Geico heavily recruited in the university I went to. They ended up recruiting me into their Emerging Leaders program.Then I was recruited again by Brown & Brown, a large international insurance brokerage. They recruited me into their internal audit program. Within that role, I learned everything about insurance. She discusses the steps she took to weigh up the risk of leaving an established insurance leadership role to co-found insurtech Steadily. “I'm an insurance person, I'm very risk averse. The idea of going out on my own and doing something that could fail. That was terrifying. I sat down and calculated the risk. I thought, ‘Ok, let's model out worst-case scenario and best-case scenario. We raised $4million in a seed round, so we had 12 to 18 months to prove our concept.”With a recent Series B fundraise of $60m and a team of 100+, Datha gives an overview of the business' current position and the insurance solution Steadily provides.“We wanted to make sure that real estate investors, no matter where or what type of property they had, could come to a single place to find somebody who could help them and who could do it quickly.Steadily does have a product of its own but we also have very strong relationships with retail partners. That allows us to support virtually anyone who comes to us with any type of rental property. Some are using it for short term, some are using it for long term.Our sales agents during the hours of 7am to 7pm have three minutes to respond to a customer. When a customer is on our website, they're going to hear from us within just a few minutes. That's why we're winning.”To achieve this level of service and achieve a continued growth trajectory, building a high-performance insurance leadership culture is paramount. Datha highlights how she weeds out the B & C performers from the A-players. “When we bring somebody in to interview, the entire process is designed to figure out, ‘Are they the person or the few people who were carrying the weight for their whole team at their previous company.”We have a culture deck for everyone who applies to Steadily to look at. Our philosophy for hiring is to hire a company that's only made up of 90th percentile team members.We save money in other areas so we can pay people the max, so we can attract the very best people in their fields. It can be painful sometimes, but if you drop that bar then very quickly your talent density starts to go downhill.It's easier to get in to Harvard than get hired at Steadily.”Datha shares her approach to hiring the best insurance talent. “As one of the co-founders, I still meet every single candidate in my downstream. I want to know who they are and who is joining our company before they come on board.So much of my calendar is spent interviewing people. It's worth it because by doing so, we are able to keep our talent density high.As for her advice to candidates coming to interview, Datha says, “We talk a lot about our culture deck in the interview process. Sometimes people bow out of the interview process after they read it. Make sure you know the culture deck inside out. Make sure it gives you warm and fuzzy feelings. If you don't like the culture deck, you will not like it here.”Advising fellow Insurtech founders and insurance people leaders, “You have to prioritize money to pay them. You need
