E176 The Notable and Quotable This Week In Venture And An Interview With Robin Smith, CEO of Darby, a Durable Medical Equipment Marketplace platform.

S4:E176 First The Notable and Quotable This Week In Venture and then Paul interviews Robin Smith, CEO of Darby, a Durable Medical Equipment Marketplace platform trying to disrupt legacy outpatient medical supply logistics currently managed via Fax. I had planned for an episode on Robotics and AI this week but it proved to be too big a topic for one episode so next week I am excited to kick off a 2 part series on the AI revolution in Robotics. I’ll be talking with some of the brightest founders in the industry about how robotics can meet the growing demand for manual work in the setting of a declining supply of humans. They will highlight the near term strengths and opportunities for investors in the new Robotics world of intelligent machines. And we’ll speculate on the long term direction of the industry.
