| 9/29/25 | Founder Mode: Andy Lapsa, Founder & CEO, Stoke Space | In this episode we talk to Andy Lapsa of Stoke Space. This startup is literally doing rocket science, because they're building fully reusable rockets. Anyone who meets Andy is struck by the depth of his expertise, and in this company that's what founder mode means: a deep understanding of all the engineering problems. | — | ||||||
| 9/23/25 | Founder Mode: Emmett Shear, Founder, Softmax & Twitch | In this Social Radars episode we talk to Emmett Shear, who told us about an interesting founder mode technique he developed when he was running Twitch. He wanted people there to be able to answer the question "What would Emmett do?" and he found the best way to ensure this was via the weekly all-hands, which he'd spend hours preparing for. | — | ||||||
| 9/16/25 | Founder Mode: Christina Cacioppo, Founder & CEO, Vanta | In today’s episode, Christina Cacioppo gives us her take on founder mode, which is becoming more important now that Vanta has 1000 employees around the world. She told us about a new variant of the idea: founder mode in fundraising. Christina delayed fundraising till after Vanta hit $100m ARR, which caused some investors to dismiss her, but she ended up net ahead. | — | ||||||
| 9/12/25 | Founder Mode: Kashish Gupta, Founder and co-CEO of Hightouch | In this episode we talked to Kashish Gupta of Hightouch, who made an important point about founder mode: one of the most important things founders can do that employees can't is to take big risks. | — | ||||||
| 9/8/25 | Founder Mode: Paul Gross, Founder & CEO of Remora Carbon | In this episode we talk to Paul Gross of Remora Carbon, a startup that does carbon capture right out of the exhausts of trucks and trains. Paul has a unique take on founder mode: once a quarter he decides what the three top risks to the company are, and for that quarter, those three things, whatever they are, are the main things he works on. | — | ||||||
| 9/4/25 | Founder Mode: Chris Best, Founder & CEO, Substack | In this episode, taped in front of a live audience, Chris Best tells us the story of Substack. He reminisces about his adventures with Elon Musk, and explains how he persisted in bringing to market a component of Substack that he knew was critical to their vision, even though any non-founder CEO would have killed it after years without any growth. | — | ||||||
| 8/29/25 | Founder Mode: Jake Heller, Founder & CEO, Casetext | In this episode, Jake Heller talks about how he and his cofounder discovered the perfect product in a weekend of intense experimentation after GPT4 was released, and then changed the whole direction of the company. This was a classic case of founder mode, because Casetext was already 9 years old at that point and it was hard to convince everyone to change course. | — | ||||||
| 8/22/25 | Founder Mode: Paul Graham, Founder, Y Combinator | Paul Graham talks about how the concept of founder mode arose from Brian Chesky's famous talk in 2024, what it means, and the latest things he's observed in the startup world. | — | ||||||

| 5/30/25 | Ron Conway, Founder, SV Angel Part 4 (Bonus) | In part 4 of our series with legendary investor Ron Conway, we get into the story of Napster. Napster was founded by Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker in 1999 and was the first app to let people access music on demand, at scale. Though it ultimately failed amidst a series of lawsuits, Napster blazed the trail for Spotify and Apple Music, leaving in its wake a series of stories as interesting as the founders themselves. | — | ||||||
