Having moved into the tech / scale up space about 5 years ago, the void in understanding funding, product, engineering etc was immense and listening to 20VC has helped me bridge a lot of this. It helps me keep up to date with the latest and greatest, I learn about some awesome new businesses and people and it’s just very interesting. I never miss an episode. Highly recommended.

Apple Podcasts5SimpleReviewYes?United States6 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.
Apple Podcasts1Please no AIUnited Kingdom8 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.
