Can venture capital destroy startups? That is the question! On the latest episode of Talking Too Loud, Chris and Sylvie sit down with Eric Paley, managing partner at Founder Collective, a seed stage venture capital fund that's backed transformative startups like Uber, Airtable, and Whoop, to explore the many ways over-capitalization can lead companies to fail. They also discuss some of the principles that help entrepreneurs find success, like building businesses with a focus on customer validation, genuine substance, and financial prudence. Highlights Include:

  • The toxic side of venture capital
  • Navigating over-capitalization
  • The true north — your customers
