Friends,

Today’s podcast is a little different.

Rather than a new interview, we’re releasing an audio version of the “No Rivals” series about Founders Fund. This is The Generalist’s most popular work to date, and we want to make sure that those who prefer audio can enjoy it, too.

Part I is available to everyone for free, but to access our full reporting and research, you’ll need to become a premium member. For just $22/month, you’ll unlock the complete audio recording (all 3 hours and 15 minutes of it), as well as all of our other work. Once you subscribe, you’ll be able to listen to the full audio directly from your Substack app.

By becoming a member, you’ll also uncover case studies on venture firms like Kleiner Perkins, USV, Tiger Global, and many others, in addition to exclusive interviews, private startup databases, and tactical guides. All of our work is designed to surface Silicon Valley’s best stories, strategies, and secrets in pursuit of giving you an investing and operating edge.
