Loved this episode!<p>The ending with GT was great, where he talked about the importance of maintaining a growth mindset in the startup and tech ecosystem, so that more startups can be built in the future.<p>It's something that you see in podcasting, vlogging, and comedy, where people help each other out, rather than compete with a self-serving mindset of "winner take all"<p>It was great to hear Garry spread the message of wanting to help others, from both a VC and company-building standpoint
Hi all - Ben, one of the podcast hosts here.<p>A few folks asked us to ungate this Acquired x Gary Tan LP show episode for the YC community so we went ahead and did that.<p>One fun thing from this episode: I never realized that before Initialized when Garry was a partner at YC, he was designing early homepages for companies in the batch… including HelloSign and GOAT :)
Acquired is definitely one of the better tech podcasts out there. Been listening since season one, lots of good lessons learned but also super entertaining and fun.
