Time for another AMA! You all hit the big stuff in this one. What’s the

habits do I recommend? How about weird techno sets? How about comic runs?

Should we be optimistic about humanity in 100 years? How about 1,000? Why did
I describe Elizabeth Warren as a “fighter” rather than “professor” candidate?
What’s the likeliest sci-fi dystopia?

Springfree Trampoline: Keith Alexander & Steve Holmes Dur: 63:05

In the late 1980s, a New Zealand engineer named Keith Alexander wanted to buy
a trampoline for his kids. After his wife said trampolines were too dangerous,
Keith set out to design his own — a safer trampoline, without metal springs.
He tinkered with and perfected the design over the course of a decade. But he
was daunted by the challenge of bringing his invention to market — and he
almost gave up. At that point Steve Holmes, a Canadian businessman, bought the
patent to Keith's trampoline, and took a big risk to commercialize it. Today,
Springfree Trampoline generates over $50 million in annual sales and has sold
over 400,000 trampolines. PLUS in our postscript, "How You Built That," how
Cyndi and Chris Hileman created a candle in a planter pot that can later be
used to grow wildflowers.

a16z Podcast: Feedback Loops -- Company Culture, Change, and DevOps Dur: 44:02

with Nicole Forsgren (@nicolefv), Jez Humble (@jezhumble) and Sonal Chokshi
(@smc90) From the old claim that "IT doesn't matter" and question of whether
tech truly drives organizational performance, we've been consumed with
figuring out how to measure -- and predict -- the output and outcomes, the
performance and productivity of software. It's not useful to talk about what
happens in one isolated team or successful company; we need to be able to make
it happen at any company -- of any size, industry vertical, or
architecture/tech stack. But can we break the false dichotomy of performance
vs. speed; is it possible to have it all? This episode of the a16z Podcast
boldly goes where no man has gone before -- trying to answer those elusive
questions -- by drawing on one of the largest, large-scale studies of software
and organizational performance out there, as presented in the new book,
Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps -- Building and Scaling
High Performing Technology Organizations by Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and
Gene Kim. Forsgren (co-founder and CEO at DevOps Research and Assessment -
DORA; PhD in Management Information Systems; formerly at IBM) and Humble (co-
founder and CTO at DORA; formerly at 18F; and co-author of The DevOps
Handbook, Lean Enterprise, and Continuous Delivery) share the latest findings
about what drives performance in companies of all kinds. But what is DevOps,
really? And beyond the definitions and history, where does DevOps fit into the
broader history and landscape of other tech movements (such as lean
manufacturing, agile development, lean startups, microservices)? Finally, what
kinds of companies are truly receptive to change, beyond so-called
organizational "maturity" scores? And for pete's sake, can we figure out how
to measure software productivity already?? All this and more in this episode!

a16z Podcast: Produce or Perish! (What We Eat) Dur: 35:02

Nature is the ultimate complex system, of course — but with today’s
technology, it’s now provided us with an “incredible toolkit” of different
molecules that material scientists can treat like Legos to make some really
interesting products. One of those is a protective layer for fruits and
vegetables that extends shelf life and freshness. Because all produce is
seasonal, it’s perishable — so there’s a limited geographical radius around
which it can travel… whether by land, sea, or air. How does this change what
food we sell, buy, eat… taste? How does it affect smallholder farmers both in
the United States and in the developing world — where there’s no real
infrastructure, yet alone for a cold-storage supply chain? And finally, what
are some of the most interesting advances in the interdisciplinary field of
materials science right now and up next: Is it finally time for these
“hard”ware companies to be more software-like? All this and more (and
unfortunately, some puns too!) on this episode of the a16z Podcast with Apeel
founder and CEO James Rogers and a16z partners Malinka Walaliyadde and Sonal
Chokshi. Will tech reshape the food-map of the world?

Inside VC: Data-Driven Venture Investing with Clint Korver and Adam Corey Dur: 70:11

This episode is part of a three-part series taking listeners behind the
curtain to discuss the inner workings of venture capital. Erik is joined by
co-host for this episode, Adam Corey (@frumpy), partner at Village Global, and
Clint Korver (@ckorver), managing director at Ulu Ventures. They discuss Ulu’s
approach to portfolio construction and how it is using data to figure out
which companies to invest in. As you'll notice, Clint is a wealth of
fascinating statistics about venture investing. Clint explains why venture
investing is analogous to other industries like pharmaceuticals and oil and
gas extraction that follow a power law distribution. He points out that 100
venture investments out of 4,000 total in a given year create nearly all the
profit in the venture industry. Clint explains how, taking cues from other
industries mentioned above, Ulu uses data to predict which companies will be
worth investing in. He says that the two main tenets of their investing thesis
at Ulu are: 1. Invest early, and 2. Have large portfolios. Clint runs through
the rationale for these ideas and why they diverge from VC “conventional
wisdom.” Erik and Adam discuss the approach that Village is taking and compare
it to what Ulu and other VC firms are doing, in order to flesh out the
differences in investing theses. Clint also talks about the differences in
returns between folllow-on and early stage and why Ulu doesn’t have a rigid
reserve fund size. The three of them also talk about why the approaches of
some of the biggest and most successful firms these days don’t scale down to
smaller funds. Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review
us on your favorite podcast platform. Check us out on the web at
