Larry Aschebrook is the Founder and Managing Partner of G Squared in what is one of the wildest stories of venture capital. Larry started G Squared with nothing, dialling for dollars having personally invested in Twitter and Uber. In his first fund, Larry made sizable bets into SpaceX, Palantir, Alibaba and Twitter. Larry has also had mega losses along the way (discussed in the show) in Getir, 23andme and more. Today, Larry manages over $5BN and has invested in all the best from Wiz to Spotify to Revolut and Anthropic. ---------------------------------------------- In Today’s Episode We Discuss: 00:00 Intro 01:07 Bootstrapping a Venture Career 04:41 The Best Investment on a Multiple Basis 09:29 The Alibaba Move That Changed Everything 20:19 How a $150M Spotify Bet Made a Billion 30:33 Lyft Made Millions, Uber Lost $50M 41:53 “We Fcked Up”: The Billion-Dollar Vintage 47:19 What Larry Does with Overinflated Assets 50:51 The Gut Call That Dodged Theranos 59:13 Losing $70M on 23andMe 01:...
