Peter discussed his view on what goes into being a great board member: deeply understanding the founder's purpose, and then challenging them to go further than they imagined.
Interestingly, I think this is also part of what goes into being a great teammate, friend, or spouse.

My guest on Uncapped this week was @peterfenton, one of the most successful early stage investors of all time.
We talked about applying the ideas of evolution to business, the practice of venture, and matching your work to what personally motivates you.
He's incredibly compelling and inspiring, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Excels are notoriously hard to parse.
Even though they are machine readable, they end up as a flat string that loses semantic meaning of tables, styling and formulas. Agents can’t use it.
We’ve solved that.

One of the coolest parts of doing this podcast is the ability to get specific advice from amazing people about how to do my job.
Peter's advice for me about how to be a better VC was basically to cultivate the ability to know a special person when you meet them.
Which may sound unspecific, but I think if it's the central goal is something everyone can get better at, and is likely the most important part of the job.

The biggest learning I’ve had so far as an entrepreneur is that it’s crucial to align your incentives with your values.
That’s what we’re trying to do everyday @huggingface by making sure we build systems and features to benefit (instead of being hurt) by more openness and collaboration in AI.
It might not be the fastest or easiest way to be successful or rich in the short term but definitely the most rewarding in the long-run!

Christina is one of the founders who most effectively got help from investors who weren't even part of her company.
Was cool to hear tactically about how she did it.

This week's Uncapped guest was @christinacaci, founder of Vanta.
We talked about operating in a highly competitive space, what she thinks about investors, the nuts and bolts of building a company, and the mental game of being a founder. Hope you enjoy.
