How can AI make meetings better? That's the simple question that inspired Granola, a productivity tool that can tell you what was actually discussed in that meeting last week and what the real next steps are. In this episode of Generative Now, host Michael Mignano, partner at Lightspeed, sits down with Granola co-founders Chris Pedregal and Sam Stephenson at their headquarters in London. They talk about how they first met, their early product bets, and how they decided to focus on solving one painful problem: the chaos that follows every meeting. They share the story behind their early experiments with GPT-3 and how that eventually evolved into a tool designed especially for people who find their days filled with back-to-back meetings. Chris and Sam explain why they avoided flashy AI features to focus on simplicity and habit-forming design, how they quickly found their product-market fit, and what it means to adapt quickly in the age of LLMs. Episode Chapters00:00 Welcome and Introduction01:15 Finding the Right Co-Founder01:51 Tools for Thought and AI03:24 Identifying the Problem04:38 Building the Solution05:07 The Evolution of AI and App Layer07:46 Challenges and Innovations11:20 Business Model and Future Outlook14:24 The Launch and Early Success17:52 Theoretical vs. Practical User Needs18:17 Stress and Software Design19:28 Scaling with AI22:05 Maintaining Quality and Taste24:10 Building a Silicon Valley Startup in London28:03 The Future of Granola30:27 Early Feedback and Iteration35:09 Privacy and Data HandlingStay in touch:www.lsvp.comX: https://twitter.com/lightspeedvpLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lightspeed-venture-partners/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lightspeedventurepartners/Subscribe on your favorite podcast app: generativenow.coEmail: generativenow@lsvp.comThe content here does not constitute tax, legal, business or investment advice or an offer to provide such advice, should not be construed as advocating the purchase or sale of any security or investment or a recommendation of any company, and is not an offer, or solicitation of an offer, for the purchase or sale of any security or investment product.

Min-Kyu Jung is the CEO and co-founder at Ivo, an AI contract law assistant for legal teams, which has raised $6.2 million in funding total from investors including Uncork Capital, Fika Ventures, GD1, Phase One, and Daniel Gross. Min-Kyu got the idea for Ivo (previously Latch) while working as a corporate lawyer in New Zealand, when he saw how much time, effort and money were spent drawing up agreements. His entrepreneurial streak got the better of him — drawn to what he saw as “low-hanging fruit”, under-optimised processes around him in the legal profession, he taught himself how to code in two months and took the leap to start a startup.Ivo works in Microsoft Word to explain legal terms, determine if clauses are market standard and instantly create a summary of an agreement to help speed up the process. After a cold outbound DM landed him an angel investment from Daniel Gross in San Francisco, he moved his whole team over for an initial three months — and never looked back. He thinks other kiwi founders - at least those who aspire to be at the frontiers of AI - should do the same, and issues a challenge to other founders to reflect on where they need to locate to maximise their chances of success.He's not afraid to roll up his sleeves and do the work to sell, get connected with people... even if that means lots of cold outbound: “Kiwis tend to be modest and avoid making impositions on others. You will need to overcome this cultural quirk and simply cold email / DM people you find interesting.” We talk about how social capital flows in the Bay Area, and how it helped him build a local network, recruit his team, land hundreds of customer conversations, and more: “The SF Bay Area has a strong culture of paying it forward. Successful people here are often willing to spend time and social capital helping founders with no network if they seem to be working on something interesting.” We talk about his thesis for AI product development, how founders should think about designing user experiences, how Ivo handles issues with Large Language Model (“LLM”) reliability and hallucinations, and how he's preparing to leverage ever more powerful AI models to his advantage in coming years.

In der aktuellen Folge des Elektroauto-News.net Podcasts wird ein aufschlussreiches Gespräch mit Florian Rohde, einem erfahrenen Automotive-Consultant bei iProcess Consulting, geführt. Rohde, der früher bei Continental, Tesla und Nio tätig war, teilt seine umfangreichen Erfahrungen aus der Automobilindustrie. Er spricht über den Kulturschock, den er bei seinem Wechsel zu Tesla, einem typischen Silicon Valley-Startup, erlebte und wie sich dies von der traditionellen Automobilwelt unterschied. Besonders hervorgehoben wird Teslas innovative Herangehensweise, Autos als "Software Defined Vehicles" zu definieren, was zur damaligen Zeit revolutionär war. Diese Perspektive ermöglichte es Tesla, schnell und flexibel auf Herausforderungen zu reagieren, insbesondere durch Over-the-Air-Updates. Das Gespräch beleuchtet auch die Unterschiede in der Unternehmenskultur und Arbeitsweise zwischen Tesla und Nio, wobei Nio eher auf Quantität und Integration setzt, während Tesla sich auf Qualität und interne Entwicklung fokussiert. Rohde diskutiert die Herausforderungen für traditionelle Automobilhersteller, sich an die schnelle Innovationsgeschwindigkeit im E-Auto-Sektor anzupassen, und die Notwendigkeit kultureller und organisatorischer Anpassungen in etablierten Unternehmen. Ein Highlight des Gesprächs ist die Anekdote über die Verwendung eines Tesla Roadsters in einer SpaceX-Mission, die die enge Verbindung und den kreativen Geist der beiden Unternehmen illustriert. Diese Episode gibt einen faszinierenden Einblick in die Entwicklung der Automobilindustrie im Zeitalter der Elektromobilität und den damit verbundenen Wandel in Arbeitsweisen und Unternehmenskulturen.

Bad Blood Full Chapter Book SummaryMore Content On Bookey Best Book Summary App. For nearly a ten billion dollar fraud, what meticulous planning is required? How did a school dropout with no medical background deceive the medical technology establishment and even political giants? In “Bad Blood”, the author, John Carreyrou, uses a calm and objective style of writing to reveal the shocking fraudulent activity at the heart of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes' company. In his research for the book, Carreyrou interviewed over 150 people, including sixty former employees. He drew upon the comprehensive background detail they provided to uncover the truth. Carreyrou tears apart the legendary company that built on lies. He reveals to the reader how the fraud was executed. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup. Before we begin, let us try to imagine a particular type of product, a portable medical “magic box”. It can be kept at home, produce a diagnosis, and suggest a treatment plan. Whenever you feel physically unwell, all you need to do is to open this magic box, use the needle on top to prick your finger, let a drop of blood fall into the box, and this magic box will provide over two hundred professional test results. With this device, not only would you be able to track your physical condition instantaneously, the data from the blood test would be transmitted online to your doctor. They can then send over more comprehensive consultation notes and advise on your medication going forward. With such a magic box, you would be able to accomplish the entire process of a doctor's consultation without stepping out of your door. Is this a product you would hope to own? This is not a fantasy. Once upon a time, someone from Silicon Valley created such a product. The entrepreneur was a passionate follower of Steve Jobs. Like Jobs, had believed that “the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” For this revolutionary dream, this individual dropped out of Stanford University, gathered a group of like-minded talents, and created a company that sold medical apparatus. Soon it was estimated to be worth $9 billion USD. This person, who founded a company they called Theranos, was none other than Elizabeth Holmes. It was she who came up with this captivating idea and proceeded to use an irresistibly charming manner to rake in investment. She attracted business world legends, such as the Oracle founder Larry Ellison, to be her shareholders. She was even successful in persuading military and political leaders, like former U.S. Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, and former Defense Minister William Perry, to join the Board of Directors. These significant figures provided a shield for the company. Their credibility helped her company's value ascend in the market, such that, at one point, it was the most successful Silicon Valley start-up. At the helm of Theranos, Holmes dreamt of becoming a hero destined to save humanity. Yet ultimately, the dream melted as everyone found out that the magic product was just an illusion Holmes had created. The bubble was burst when everyone shockingly realized that the Theranos company Holmes' had created was the biggest medical fraud in history.

Conned, swindled, or bilked, about 50 million Americans were ripped off by scammers in 2020. What deadens a person to preying on another? Tricksters commit crudely constructed fraud. Jung said they are “not really evil [but do] the most atrocious things from sheer unconsciousness and unrelatedness.” Cheaters may have behaved decently until tempted by need and opportunity and then become caught in a web of deception. Narcissists exploit others due to an inflated need for admiration and status that forecloses empathy and relatedness--and crooks turn predation, power, and risk-taking into a career. They lack authentic affiliation with others and an abiding sense of self; egotism and performative grandiosity substitute for feeling and being. The scammer unwittingly scams himself by seeking false gold in the external world. Real gold lies within. Here's the dream we analyze: “I'm with my family in a grand dining room, around a large table with lots of food on it. It's going to be dad's funeral. I hear that mum is really upset because she wants to see dad's body before they bury him. Some men bring dad's body directly past the table where we are sitting, and as they bring the body past, I recite the lyrics to the Kenny Rogers song “The Gambler” to my brother. I look at him sincerely, and I clearly say: “On a warm summer's evening, on a train bound for nowhere, I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep. We took turns in staring out the window at the darkness Until the boredom overtook us, and he began to speak. He said, “Son, I've made a life out of reading people's faces Knowing what the cards were by the way they held their eyes. And if you don't mind me saying, I can see you're out of aces, and for a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice. You've got to know When to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, Know when to run, You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table, There'll be time enough for countin,' When the dealin's done, Now every gambler knows, The secret to survivin,' Is knowin' what to throw away, And knowin' what to keep, 'Cause every hand's a winner, And every hand's a loser, And the best you can hope for Is to die in your sleep.” Then I stop, and we start to eat the food.”   REFERENCES: Bernie Madoff, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Madoff Elizabeth Holmes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Holmes George Santos, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Santos John Carreyrou. Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup. https://a.co/d/3Gv3NMJ Maria Konnikova. The Confidence Game: Why We Fall for It Every Time. https://a.co/d/gWd18xR Podcast: Dr. Death. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dr-death-s1-dr-duntsch/id1421573955 Sam Bankman-Fried, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bankman-Fried GIVE US A HAND!

Over the years we have explored a wide range of books on Saturdays. Sometimes our re-reads reflect the real world outside software development.  For example, in 2018  we re-read Bad Blood, Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou, the story of Theranos and Elizabeth Anne Holmes. This year Ms. Holmes went to prison. While I don't expect prison sentences for the subjects in the books we read in 2022, I expect the knowledge in the books we tackled to have a broader impact on the world.   In the past year, we have re-read 3.4 books – 40% is the progress on the current book according to Kindle. Links to all of the read entries can be found in the show notes. I am looking forward to reading and learning with all of you in 2023. This week we also have a visit from Susan Parente and her Not A Scrumdamentalist column. Susan and I discussed how a newly minted Scrum Master can get up to speed quickly. A quick advertisement: Controlling work entry requires preparation and knowledge, building to establishing a path to control work entry (magic wands are normally not available), which is why Jeremy Willets and I have developed a work entry workshop. Interested? Please email us at tcagley@tomcagley.com or willetsjm@gmail.com Next SPaMCAST  Every year I host a panel discussion with the columnists and other SPaMcast contributors. We will cap 2022 with a spirited discussion on the importance of engagement.  Is it all that its cracked up to be or not?

Hiya, friend,Thank you for joining me for Running Scared with Coach Christine.If you are a runner and a true crime enthusiast, you have found your corner of the internet, friend! Elizabeth Holmes captured and captivated investors and politicians and was seen as a visionary who would revolutionize the medical world. Well, friend, if it sounds too good to be true, it's likely because it is. This true crime case is the Runner's Digest of the con job that could have potentially caused inappropriate treatment, severe illnesses, and death. So don't get swayed into thinking that just because this is a "white collar" crime, it was victimless. Elizabeth had many victims, and how many we likely will never fully know. Want to learn more? Check out ABC News podcast, The Dropout, or check out the HBO Documentary Film The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley   if you are looking for the companion book, you can find Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup, which was written by The Wall Street Journal, journalist, John Carreyrou that broke the story.

Episode SummaryJohn Carreyrou literally wrote the book on Theranos – the bestseller “Bad Blood,” which built on his earlier writing at the WSJ that broke the story. With Elizabeth Holmes scheduled to be sentenced this week, I sat down with John to get the inside scoop on how he uncovered the Theranos fraud, his take on Holmes, what went wrong and why, and what her sentence is likely to be.Sydney Finkelstein Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University.

In his reporting for The Wall Street Journal, he was the first to break the scandal surrounding the failed biomedical startup Theranos and the disturbing lies of its wunderkind founder, Stanford dropout Elizabeth Holmes. A compelling speaker, Carreyrou discusses the ethical lapses, the credulous media coverage, and the lax oversight that allowed Theranos to achieve a “unicorn” valuation of $9 billion and shares with audiences the lessons that can be learned from its fall.Bad Blood was also named the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year. The HBO documentary based on the Theranos story, The Inventor, was directed by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney and premiered at Sundance. A graduate of Duke University, Carreyrou lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and three children.Insights from this episode: Details about John's bookTheranos scandal and how John discovered itThe intimidation, threats, and stonewalling John experienced when covering the scandalDetails about Elizabeth Holmes's trialConfidential informants being stalked during the trialWhat Elizabeth Holmes did wrong and how she was able to build credibilityQuotes from the show:“I had done a lot of reporting about health care medicine by then and enough to know that that's not usually how things happen (Theranos scandal). Usually, people who make advances in medical fields are trained and then do decades of research before they add value” —John Carreyrou [9:14]“It wasn't until late April/May of 2015 that I began approaching the company and letting them know that I was doing a story and could they answer these questions. At that point they tried to stonewall me, they gave me the silent treatment for about a month, but then I think it dawned on them that I wasn't going away” —John Carreyrou [20:21]“They knew that those three employees (Adam Rosendorff, Tyler Shultz, and Erika Cheung) had left with objections and raising doubts, and their suspicions immediately gravitated toward them” —John Carreyrou [24:39]“That's what you call affinity fraud. You surround yourself with people who have a lot of credibility and prestigious names, and you borrow their credibility. That is very much what took place. In this case, Elizabeth was able to do that” —John Carreyrou [40:23]“She was convicted of defrauding investors. To me, that isn't the worst part of the scandal. What I consider to be the worst part is the fact she went live with a medical product that didn't work. She had a machine called the Edison, it was very limited and its capabilities could only do a handful of blood tests, and it didn't perform it accurately” —John Carreyrou [29:23]“To me, her biggest crime is that she knowingly commercialized a medical product that she knew was deficient, that she knew was flawed, that she knew didn't work. She put patients in harm's way, she endangered the public health” —John Carreyrou [30:30]“[About cutting corners] Elizabeth Holmes is someone who was well aware of this history, of this lure. She knew that people like Larry Ellison and Steve Jobs had cut corners earlier in their careers and she felt entitled to do the same” —John Carreyrou [33:21]“The Theranos scandal is a reminder that fine, bring your new ideas and your money to the problems in healthcare but, you got to remember it's not the same world as software and that the stakes are much higher. If you don't bear that in mind then what happened to Elizabeth Holmes will happen to you” —John Carreyrou [37:07]Stay connected:Sydney FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastJohn CarreyrouLinkedIn: John Carreyrou Twitter: John CarreyrouSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

Each individual will react differently to the medicine, which can be largely shaped by the set and setting of your experience and your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual state before joining. If you're interested in this or a similar experience, we recommend you do your own research and speak to others who have done it so you can best determine if it is a good fit for you at this time. Should you decide to do so, we strongly suggest doing so with great reverence and respect for the medicine and the powerful effects it can create in your life. We also recommend anyone working with this medicine spend time preparing themselves before their ceremony(s) and have resources lined up to support them in their integration post ceremony(s).Also, it is important to note that the plants and compounds mentioned in this post are still illegal in many countries, and even possession can carry severe criminal penalties. None of this post constitutes medical advice or should be construed as a recommendation to use psychedelics. There are serious legal, psychological, and physical risks. Psychedelics are not for everyone—they can exacerbate certain emotional problems, and there have been, in very rare cases, fatalities.

Oren Zeev is the Founding Partner @ Zeev Ventures and one of the OGs of solo capitalism. Oren has an incredible portfolio including investments in Audible, Houzz, Chegg, Riverside, Tipalti, TripActions, and Firebolt to name a few. Oren is also very unlike any other VC firm, he does not employ any associates, principals, or staff. He doesn't have partners or partner meetings. No LP meetings. No processes. No investment committees or memos. Nada. Oren is doing it differently. Prior to starting Zeev Ventures, Oren spent 12 years as a GP @ Apax Partners where he c-headed their technology practice in their Silicon Valley office. In Today's Episode with Oren Zeev You Will Learn: 1.) Origins into Venture: How did Oren make his way into venture over 20 years ago? How does the crash of today compare to the dot com and 2008? What is the same? What is different? Why did Oren decide to leave Apax and start Zeev Ventures on his own? 2.) Deployment Pace: Why does Oren believe that the benefits of temporal diversification are overstated? Oren raised 3 funds and over $1BN in a year, how does this current environment impact how Oren thinks about deployment pace? Will he change anything? How does Oren explain deployment pace to LPs who question him? 3.) Ownership: How central a role does ownership play for Oren in terms of his investor psychology? Does Oren believe it is possible to increase your ownership in subsequent rounds, in your best companies? What are the biggest mistakes that big funds make with regards to ownership requirements? Why is there a misalignment between GP and LP when it comes to increasing ownership vs markups? 4.) Price Sensitivity: How does Oren evaluate his own relationship to price today? What have been some of Oren's biggest lessons on price from his biggest wins and losesses? What mistake do the majority of investors make when it comes to price? 5.) Diversification: Why does Oren believe that both GPs and LPs are wildly over-diversified in their portfolios? What is the right amount of companies for GPs to have in their portfolio? How does Oren advise LPs on the right amount of funds for them to be invested with? 6.) Oren Zeev: AMA: What does Oren know now that he wishes he had known when he started his career in venture? What elements of the world of LPs would Oren most like to change? Why does Oren feel that the concept of pro-rata is a lazy one?

Madeleine is the Co-Founder and CEO of Talentdrop, a talent marketplace that matches talent to your company's needs. She has had years of recruiting experience working at top-named companies such as Snapchat, Facebook, Uber, and Instacart. As a Co-Founder, Madeleine has partnered with many elite firms such as SV Angel and Y Combinator, both startup seed funds. She will discuss how the recruiting model varies across high-profile companies and how Talentdrop plans to compete with those big named powerhouses. Madeleine Nguyen Bio:I'm originally from the SF Bay Area. I went to Georgetown University in DC for undergrad where I played Women's Golf and studied Classics. I then went to law school at Washington University in St. Louis where I became interested in employment law, which led me to explore careers in HR and Talent. I wanted to get into tech so I pursued opportunities in recruiting, starting at a firm (Riviera) then going in house to Instacart, Snapchat, and Uber between 2013-2019. I left to start Talentdrop!Talentdrop is turning recruiting into an open marketplace, where hiring companies post bounties for their open roles and any recruiter or other professional can collect it by referring a successful candidate. Companies get more people working on their hiring problem without having to pay more for it, and now anyone can earn big recruiting bonuses previously limited to a few firms.Professional recruiters can now monetize the excess candidate inventory created from their primary business. This is work they've already done but previously couldn't benefit from. Likewise, candidates won't have to start the vetting process over from scratch again and again since they'll be able to be referred with context and get warm intros into hot hiring companies that can be hard to access. Companies can also share candidates in a more efficient way (for example, Company A has two great product candidates but only one headcount - they can refer the second).Machine learning will help us make better hiring recommendations faster.Make sure to subscribe & review Lady Empire above for the opportunity to be featured!

In 2014, Fortune magazine ran a cover story featuring Elizabeth Holmes: a blonde woman wearing a black turtleneck, staring deadpan at the camera, with the headline, “This CEO's out for blood.” A decade earlier, Holmes had founded Theranos, a company promising to “revolutionize” the blood testing industry, initially using a microfluidics approach — moving from deep vein draws to a single drop of blood. It promised easier, cheaper, more accessible lab tests — and a revolutionized healthcare experience. But it turns out that all those lofty promises were empty. There was no revolutionary new way to test blood. This past spring, Holmes settled a lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission, though admitted no wrongdoing. Last Friday, another nail in the coffin for Theranos came in the form of federal charges of wire fraud, filed against Holmes and the company's former president, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani.  The alleged fraud was uncovered by the dogged reporting of John Carreyrou, an investigative journalist at the Wall Street Journal and author of "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup."    On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
