All In 116 is up... write a funny review contest!
make it spicey!
besties,
episode 116 is up, and it’s a barn burner… looking for some of you to write hilarious reviews of the pod (roast us, praise us, take us down — get spicey!). I’ll tweet and read some on the next episode of the pod!
Also, if you didn’t know, we put the video of the show up on YouTube, and producer Nick puts in all kinds of supporting graphics. YouTube comments used to be the most dank place on earth, but it seems the folks at Google have cleaned up the community, and you’ll find some intelligent discourse (and chop-busting) on YouTube… well worth your time to say hello.
We get like 1,000+ comments in the first 24 hours, and they get sorted by upvotes
Here are some quick updates from my world:
Joe Gebbia, the co-founder of AirBnb, came on This Week in Startups, and he was AWESOME.
I just started another podcast called Founder University, which teaches founders and their teams tactical and strategic best practices.
I’m heading to Japan on Tuesday for skiing and a speaking gig on March 3rd at FutureX.
There is an All In Fan Meetup on March 2nd in Tokyo that I will stop by! Thanks to Chris and the fans for hosting me!
I’m raising my 4th venture capital fund, and we’ve had over $50m in allocation requests after a handful of zoom calls. If you’re interested in learning more about the fund, please email ashley@launch.co, and she can tell you more (if you’re a QP or AI)
In related news, we’re looking to meet with startups that have $5,000 to $100,000 in revenue a month or that are growing free products by 5% week over week for at least 12 weeks. If you want to take an intro call with my team, you can apply here. Launch.co/apply to learn more about our various startup programs.
My team does around 60 introductory meetings per week (3,000 a year) with founders. They send me the top 20% or so, and I get on a call with the top two or three who are ready for funding. It’s a ton of work, but we love it!
I wrote a book called ANGEL on angel investing—thanks for the amazing reviews. I read the book on Audible.
Love you besties! JCal (my personal substack is calacanis.substack.com)
Also, Substack has a chat room… come say hello after you download the App. It’s free, All In doesn’t charge for anything.
