As we wrap up 2022, we’ve looked back at firstminute capital’s first podcast “my firstminute” from 2020 and 2021.
My firstminute talked to some of the world’s top investors, founders and thought-leaders about the first minutes of their careers, some of the battles they’ve overcome and their advice on navigating the world today. When discussing ‘the world today’, many guests addressed the effects of Covid-19 as this series was recorded in the height of the pandemic. Each episode concludes with a Q&A with fellow entrepreneurs.
Three great marketplace unicorn founders turned investors were brought together in this episode of myfirstminute from May 2020:
Cristina Fonseca (Talkdesk [$1bn private valuation] and Venture Partner at Indico Capital Partners)
Fabrice Grinda (Co-founder & Co-CEO OLX [acquired by Naspers], Founding Partner FJ Labs)
Paul Forster (Co-founder & former CEO Indeed.com [$1bn acquisition by Recruit])
They discussed a variety of topics that are personal to them but also topics for anyone looking to start a business. These ranged from struggling with imposter syndrome as a founder, acquiring initial market share in countries, lessons learned from successful but mainly, less-successful startups and their shared transitions to investors following booming exits.
