Manage episode 445133281 series 3559615
Max Altman and Ben Braverman were both pretty close to Silicon Valley royalty before they started Saga Ventures. Max had built Alt Capital with his brothers Sam and Jack. Ben had helped Ryan Peterson build Flexport as its Chief Revenue Officer.
Recently, they came together with a third partner (Thomson Nguyen, who does not appear in this episode) to form Saga Ventures.
In this episode, Max and Ben talk about building their new fund, discussing its structure, goals, and the nature of VC partnerships. We continue with a look at the Silicon Valley Ecosystem: There is a focus on people, the interconnected nature of Silicon Valley, and how certain patterns of behavior and community dynamics influence the startup and venture capital space.
We finish by covering a range of other topics:
- How venture capital lost its way
- The rise of VC podcasting
- Billionaire VCs fighting over politics
Join us as Max Altman and Ben Braverman discuss building Saga Ventures.
