Betting Early
Navin Chaddha has backed over 60 companies that have gone public or been acquired. In this conversation, the longtime Mayfield managing partner shares what he looks for in founders, why emotional resonance still matters in early-stage investing, and where he’s placing his bets in AI and beyond.
Why Baiju Bhatt Is Betting on Space-Based Solar Power
As the co-founder of Robinhood, Baiju Bhatt helped redefine how millions of people interact with trading and investing. Now he’s setting his sights even higher — literally — with Aetherflux, a new venture aiming to harness solar power in space. In this chat, Bhatt talks about what drew him to one of the most audacious bets in tech, how building in hard science compares to fintech, and why big risks still matter.
Founders, Funders, and the Next Generation of AI Natives
Ali Partovi has helped launch the careers of a generation of elite founders through Neo. Russell Kaplan is building Cognition, the AI-native company behind Devin, the so-called “AI software engineer.” Together, they unpack what it means to build and back technical talent in the AI age, what young founders often get wrong, and why this moment feels different from past tech waves.
A Conversation with Katie Haun
Katie Haun, founder of Haun Ventures, is a leading voice at the intersection of crypto, policy, and venture capital and will share what it takes to invest with conviction in volatile, high-stakes markets. From her DOJ roots to building a $1.5B+ firm, Katie offers a rare, inside look at navigating regulatory headwinds, backing bold founders, and building trust with LPs across cycles.
