Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 419: Chip Hazard - General Partner, Flybridge
Q: What makes you say yes to a founder at the seed stage?

Episode 419: Chip Hazard - General Partner, Flybridge
Q: What was the MongoDB investment story and what made it successful?
The MongoDB investment began when the team pivoted to focusing on a fast-growing, widely loved open-source database; the open-source adoption created a large developer-led user base, and strategic moves like launching Atlas accelerated growth, ultimately leading to a high-revenue scale and a successful public listing.
Episode 418: Jeff Glass - CEO & Co-Founder, Hometap
Q: How did the idea for Hometap come to fruition after Skyhook and your time at Bain?
A shift toward meaningful, purpose-driven work led to Starting Five and then the housing equity concept; the team researched homeowner needs and macro housing trends to create a scalable equity-based alternative to debt.
Episode 418: Jeff Glass - CEO & Co-Founder, Hometap
Q: What was the biggest challenge in getting Hometap off the ground, and how did you address it?
The capital side was the hardest; they built a GP/LP fund to align capital with homeowner needs, focusing on underwriting quality and customer service to differentiate.
Episode 418: Jeff Glass - CEO & Co-Founder, Hometap
Q: So when you did make those hires, how did you think about hiring for that direct report relationship?
Jeff explains he purposely hires people who are better than he is in various ways, values strong leaders around him, and emphasizes a service mentality to customers rather than a pushy sales approach.
