A modern take on what an entrepreneur can, and should, spend their time on

By TechCrunch, Mary Ann Azevedo, Kell, Theresa Loconsolo, Rebecca Bellan, Kirsten Korosec, Devin Coldewey, Margaux MacColl

This week, Natasha interviewed Ankur Nagpal, the entrepreneur behind Teachable, Ocho, and Vibe Capital - Ankur's $70 million venture fund, raised last year from over 200 investors.

Today, we're talking about:

The future of Solo GPs and Ankur's choice to shrink Vibe Capital's fund sizeHow Ankur built, sold, pivoted and launched in publicThe upside of building in public vs building in privateThe importance of brand and succession

Of course, we ended with a lightning round of questions - including the meaning behind Ankur's tattoo.
