Sourcery · Mark Pincus: How to Build Billion-Dollar Products · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

And that was the case with Ian.

I talked to the team.

They said, he's too entrepreneurial.

He just wants to do what he wants to do.

He won't do what we tell him to do.

And I talked to Ian, and he said, they're doing dumb ideas.

So he was what I call an expert witness, the person who's closest to the data and the answers and furthest from the decision.

It sounds like you were an expert witness.

I was an expert witness.

Most of us working for other people have that experience.

And Ian did.

So I plucked him out early, much earlier than I would normally, made him my tech assistant.

And I said, great.

They don't know what they're missing.

And he just followed me around and worked on everything I did, built cool shit.

Then I left being CEO, started Incubator.

He worked there.

Then I came back as CEO.

I think he came back with me, or maybe at that point he ejected and started founding his own companies.

Yes.
