Erik is joined on this special live episode by Sarah Tavel (@sarahtavel), general partner at Benchmark. Sarah gave a fireside chat as part of Village Global’s Network Catalyst accelerator program in May 2019. They talk about:* The state of education and what Sarah is looking for in the space.* Why founders need to focus on “getting one thing really right, no matter how big or small.”* What Sarah sees in the crypto space and why she invested in Chainalysis.* The promise of vertical marketplaces.* Why Benchmark say “we are not in the business of predicting the future but rather of seeing the present clearly.”* How she evaluates markets and some of the verticals that she’s looking at investing in.* Company-building tips, including why as a company grows the CEO needs to “transition from CEO of the product to CEO of the system that builds a system.”And much more.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.
