What she learned on both sides: venture capital is a system, it runs on incentives, and most founders don't understand it until it's too late. Solivan talks about the hidden competition inside your investor's portfolio, why the system isn't broken — it's doing exactly what it's paid to do — and how founders can use that knowledge as leverage. Plus: why she's looking for someone to build the AI-native version of TaskRabbit.

He breaks down how IPO pricing works, why the public markets have shrunk, and why smaller IPOs still matter. He discusses key 7GC investments including Hims (telehealth), Jackpocket (digital lottery, acquired by DraftKings), and Anthropic (enterprise AI). Jack explains why Anthropic's B2B focus gives it a compelling edge, and why true enterprise-wide AI adoption, currently only ~10% of Fortune 500 companies, represents a massive opportunity over the next decade.

It’s making medicine. At Antheia, Smolke has turned a long-shot Stanford research project into a new way to manufacture critical pharmaceutical ingredients, using biology instead of traditional chemistry.

The approach is already being used to produce opioid precursors for Narcan, with more drugs in the pipeline aimed at chronic shortages and supply-chain failures. Smolke talks about regulation, security, and why some of the hardest problems in science are worth chasing—especially when everyone says they won’t work.

He also breaks down his role at Vivo Capital, the global life-sciences venture firm where he evaluates and guides new biotech startups.

As managing partner at Kindred Ventures, Maqubela sits at the intersection of culture, finance, and technology. In this episode, he talks with Scott McGrew about why he believes crypto has already succeeded—even if it doesn’t look the way early critics expected.

Maqubela argues that value isn’t just stored in physical assets or spreadsheets—it can also be stored in memes. Whether it's gold, real estate in Las Vegas, or Dogecoin, he suggests that cultural momentum and shared belief can give something staying power and real economic weight. “Mimetic value is value,” he says, making the case that virality itself is a form of capital.

This conversation explores why the blockchain matters, how meme coins might be more serious than they seem, and why the next generation is right to question the financial systems they inherited. It's a provocative look at the future of value—and the stories we tell to justify it.

Drummond explains why the traditional enterprise sales model is fading, and why developers now hold the keys to software adoption. He talks about resisting the temptation of early revenue, the dangers of “cargo cult” startup thinking, and what it means to build for a future where code is free and infrastructure is everything.

 

As Tom puts it: “We’re entering a world where code is free. Anyone can generate it. The consequence? We’ll need an entirely new layer of infrastructure."
