Three Course Founders

If we're all going to live forever, this tech startup might be one of the reasons. Nucleus, fka as Nucleus Genomics, offers an all-in-one DNA health test. Unlike its competitors, it sequences far more of your DNA to offer you a more complete view of "the foundation of your health." But that's just the beginning. Today, we get into the possibilities of Nucleus as a broader consumer health platform....

Starting a startup is, by default, a super hard journey. But it gets even harder - and maybe more interesting - when you're building in deeptech, building a hardware startup, and at the cutting edge of scientific possibility. Today, we get into all of that hard stuff with Eric Wollberg, Co-founder and CEO of Prophetic. It's a team of technologists, engineers, and scientists building a device to he...

He built two mainstream startups, General Assembly and Common, but now he's building a media company and taking a break from venture capital. Tune in to my conversation with Brad Hargreaves as we talk about proptech, building brick and mortar businesses, the challenge of remote work in 2024 and beyond, being a founder, managing forever-scaling startup teams, and so much more. We'll also talk about...

Today, the sort of honest founder-to-founder conversation you won't find anywhere else – it's me and my friend Dan Pantelo, the founder and CEO of Marpipe. He's raised $10M to build an adtech company, and we'll get to that, but this conversation is more important and more interesting than either of our startups. Because we get to some of the hard stuff of being a startup founder. Dan opens up abou...

Today, I'm sharing three courses of conversation and food with my friend Daniel Chait. He is the co-founder and CEO of Greenhouse, an end-to-end hiring platform with an applicant tracking system (ATS) at its center. If you've applied to jobs over the past decade, you've probably applied through Greenhouse. It's the ATS used by emerging companies, the fastest growing talent acquisition product amon...

Today, I'm sharing three courses of conversation and food with my friend Neha Govindraj. She is the founder of Bonside, a financing platform for brick-and-mortar businesses. The way it works: if you're a physical retail business looking to expand, you get access to growth capital from Bonside that you pay back based on your business's income and performance. In other words, you share a percentage...
