In our first episode back, I&m joined by two notable investors, Alexia Bonatsos and Niko Bonatsos.

former co-editor-in-chief of TechCrunch and founder of a new venture fund, Dream Machine, where she helps founders &turn science fiction
into non-fiction.&
Her husband, Niko is managing director at General Catalyst, a leading Silicon Valley venture firm with investments in

In this episode we talk about:
The rise of voice
As Google Home, Amazon Echoes, AirPods and other voice-enabled devices continue to proliferate, we&ll see user behavior shift — the same
way touch screens have influenced young kids — and new opportunities arise for creative entrepreneurs.
The corrosive nature of behavior
online, in part influenced by today advertising model, and potential solutions.
The evolution of venture capital, with the rise of micro VCs
and accessibility of capital.
Of course, we&ll also cover some of our favorite products that you might not know about, including an app to
help end mobile phone addiction, a new anonymous social network (the next Secret done right) and an app that reminds you that you&re going
to die.
