Back to the Basics: Building in a Downturn with Geoff Lewis

Geoff Lewis (@GeoffLewisOrg), founder at Bedrock, joins Lucas Bagno and Ian Cinnamon to discuss: - His thoughts on the markets and the advice he has for founders operating in a market like this one. - What is driving financial nihilism and how it has changed society. - Why he’s only investing in founders where their company is their life’s work. - Bedrock’s investments in hardware and companies making things in the physical world. - The perils of politics replacing religion as our mechanism for forming community. - The crisis of meaning in society. - The institutionalization of venture capital over the last decade and why he’s an advocate of going back to basics with small teams making fewer high conviction investments.
