Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's episode with an internet legend provides an illuminating window into how the past can help inform us about the future.Steve Case is a pioneer and a visionary. He built one of the foundational companies of the internet, AOL, that brought America and the world online. As one of America's best-known and most accomplished entrepreneurs, Steve has spent the past 39 years building, investing in, and shaping business policy for many industry-defining companies.His entrepreneurial career began in 1985 when he co-founded America Online. Under Steve's leadership, AOL became the world's largest and most valuable internet company. AOL was the first internet company to go public, and one of the best performing stocks of 1990s, delivering 11,616% return to shareholders. At its peak, nearly half of internet users in the U.S. used AOL.Steve has since built another successful company, Revolution, a Washington, D.C.-based investment firm that backs entrepreneurs at every stage of their development. Revolution Growth has invested nearly $1 billion in growth-stage companies including Sweetgreen, Tempus, Tala, DraftKings, and CLEAR. Revolution Ventures has invested in almost 30 companies, including Framebridge and SRS Acquiom. Revolution's Rise of the Rest Seed Fund has invested in over 200 startups in 100 US cities, building critical ecosystem development for entrepreneurship across the country.Steve's passion for helping entrepreneurs has extended to the policy world. He was the founding chair of the Startup America Partnership, an effort launched at the White House in 2011 to accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship around the country. He was also the founding co-chair of the National Advisory Council on Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and a member of President Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, where he chaired the subcommittee on entrepreneurship. He was also instrumental in passing the JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Startups) Act and the Investing in Opportunities Act. He's also the Chairman of the Case Foundation, which he established with his wife, Jean, in 1997 and together in 2010 they joined The Giving Pledge.Steve is also the author of the New York Times bestselling book, “The Third Wave: An Entrepreneur's Vision of the Future and The Rise of the Rest: How Entrepreneurs in Surprising Places are Building the American Dream,” which has ended up serving as a fantastic blueprint for the next wave of the internet.Steve and I had a fascinating and illuminating conversation, full of lessons learned from building the first wave of the internet that can be applied to building and investing in companies today.We discussed:How Steve and his team built AOL into the world's largest and most valuable internet company at a time when 3% of people were using the internet for 1 hour a day.How revolutions happen in evolutionary ways.The three waves of the internet and why Steve believes that the third wave is much more complex and will require the ability to navigate policy and partnerships.Lessons he learned as a founder to build a successful and diversified investment firm in Revolution.How emerging technology ecosystems can build thriving startup communities, starting with “tentpole companies.”How the things that happen to you shape how you live your life and on “living a life that's full with passion and urgency.”Thanks Steve for coming on the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast to share your wisdom, lessons learned, and visionary views of the future. It was an honor and a pleasure to have you on the show.

Startup Challenges and the Future of Work Steve Case is one of America's best-known and most accomplished entrepreneurs and a pioneer in making the Internet part of everyday life. In 1985 he co-founded America Online (AOL), which became the world's largest and most valuable Internet company, helping to drive the worldwide adoption of a medium that has transformed business and society.

With the COVID-19 pandemic in mind, we talk with Steve about his thoughts on how this changes startups' top priorities, creates new opportunities, and which business models might be at risk. We also take a deep look at a favorite topic of Steve's: the growth of innovation ecosystems outside of the major tech hubs, what he calls “the Rise of the Rest.” For decades, most high tech investors have focused on three prominent geographies - the Bay Area, Boston, and New York City. How will COVID-19 accelerate or decelerate the growth of startup communities in these rising cities across the U.S.?  In this interview with Steve Case: New opportunities emerging in a post-COVID business environment and what businesses are most at risk  How the current business environment might affect trends outlined in Steve's book http://www.thirdwavebook.com/ (The Third Wave) How COVID-19 might affect the future of work and the locations where founders choose to launch and operate businesses The potential long-term impacts and second-order effects of shorter commutes, lower costs of living, and higher quality of life that some workers are experiencing during this pandemic and how large tech companies may adjust policies as a result New entrepreneurial ecosystems that may blossom and how venture capital paradigms might shift as a result How startups can capitalize and thrive on trends like distributed work and adjust to business development activities moving online

We hope you enjoy the show.

The conversation with Donn Davis gave great insight into how he thinks. He is a Founding Partner of Revolution Growth as well as Co-Founder and Chairman of the Professional Fighters League. The commonality of those two businesses: disruption. And that is what we focus much of the conversation on. We also dig into the differences in being an attacker v. defender and a builder v. manager. His perspective and tips for college students and those in their 20’s is worth paying attention to. He is also the first person on the pod to create an actual business class at Miami, called Real Business after 20-years in the business world. I hope you enjoy the conversation. I did.

How will AI and automation impact how the industry respond to such cycles? How does Katerra approach these challenges? - Convene raises $152m from ArrowMarks Partners, Revolution Growth, RXR, Brookfield - Breather launches new "Month Plus" offering, to provide longer-term furnished private offices to its clients - Senior WeWork executive tells media "We are a real estate company in the same way that Uber is a taxi company.

He joined Revolution from SoftBank, where he worked with companies including Fitbit, BuzzFeed, E-Trade, Ziff Davis and Kabbage. 

Revolution Growth founder and partner Ted Leonsis talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about being a longtime executive at AOL and how the company changed dramatically when it merged with Time Warner in 2000. Leonsis says AOL correctly anticipated the social nature of the internet, but left several windows open for Google to beat it at its own game. After the merger, it had to turn its energies toward defending Time Warner's legacy businesses and missed still more opportunities. He also discusses his majority ownership of several sports teams, including the NBA's Washington Wizards and the NHL's Washington Capitals, and why he thinks Vice's cable channel Viceland is "the biggest con ever."
