Kanyi Maqubela - Dawn of the 21st Century - [Invest Like the Best, EP. 219]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest today is Kanyi Maqubela, co-founder of seed-stage VC firm Kindred Ventures, which he started with his partner Steven Jang in 2019. Before founding Kindred Ventures, Kanyi was a general partner at Collaborative Fund. In our conversation, we discuss the parallels between today and the Roaring ’20s of the last century, the misunderstood risk curve of seed investing, and dive deep into how Kanyi evaluates founders and businesses at the earliest stage of company formation. We also discuss Kanyi’s experience teaching the Design Your Life class at Stanford and how some of those principles convinced him to take the leap to start his own fund. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Kanyi Maqubela.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page</span> <a href= "https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/16855188/maqubela-dawn-of-the-21st-century"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">------</span></p> <p><strong>This episode is brought to you by <a href= "https://www.tegus.co/patrick">Tegus</a>.
