It looks like they removed all the negative reviews. Chai obviously can’t take criticism. He seems determined to erase any mention of his role in promoting hatred and bigotry. Are these the values of Wefunder? Does Wefunder support Chai’s bigotry and his silencing of all criticism?
Warm Intro has been a podcast highlight for me this fall. Chai’s thoughtful questions and natural conversational style make each episode feel like catching up with a sharp friend over coffee. As an early-stage investor in Emerging Asia living abroad, the podcast also keeps me connected to great stories at home in the States and around the Wefunder ecosystem. I look forward to next season and more meaningful conversations.

It should not take much reflection to realize that launching a show with a guest widely criticized as an antisemite—and then giving him space to defend an antisemite who opposed asylum for Jewish refugees and stated that "antisemitism should be part of Indian liberation"—i... more
