111: Brad Feld, Founder and Partner of Foundry Group

Today was a treat on the show - we had one of the most successful and thoughtful entrepreneurs in the tech ecosystem join us: Brad Feld. Brad has been an early-stage investor and founder for the last 30 years - most notably, he co-founded Techstars, was an early-stage investor in companies like Zynga, Fitbit, Harmonix, and Makerbot, and for the last 15 years has been running Foundry Group, which has raised over $1.5B to invest in the next generation of tech companies.

Brad recently wrote a book on Nietzsche and lessons applicable for founders. In today’s episode, we took a different turn and talked about some of the most poignant lessons from the book and how they apply to build companies today.
