ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Garry Tan is known for his investments in Coinbase and Instacart–but before cofounding and managing his fund, Initialized Capital, he was a partner at Y Combinator, where he advised more than 700 startups. He’d been down that road before–founding two of his own companies. Christine Lagorio-Chafkin interviews Tan–now a thought-leader with a popular YouTube channel, about his journey from food-insecurity in the Bay Area to student to founder to investor, and what he’s learned along the way to shaking up venture capital and managing the flow of early-stage money to young companies.
