United States3 months ago - AI AI AI.. x100
I really enjoyed this show in the past but recently all the episodes are about AI. Normally, I would be interested in hearing different opinions about venture capital and AI but one of the hosts is so brainwashed by AI that the whole episodes are him scaremongering. Some of the takes are so wild that it sounds like listening to some science fiction audiobook. The interviews are better but I can’t really recommend.

United Kingdom6 months ago - . Super bad.
In the beginning, I used to think that 20 VC is an awesome podcast. Not anymore. Take for example, one of the most recent episodes with the fiverr CEO. No content, emotionally, bombastic, full of curses. Not much to learn. Just opinionated people who act like preteen kids… who needs that in 2025?
Update Jan 2026: just getting worse and worse. All big money corporate. Forget 20vc.

Like the show. Rory is great on the weekly market show. Lemkin is awful. Last 3 months all he says is AI replaces people. Guy runs an events business who’s website doesn’t even work🤦♂️ probably vibe codes it
Apple Podcasts3Delken101United Kingdom10 months ago - The best podcast in Venture by a mile
