  3. I mean, what can I say? It really is episodes like that that make me realize just how much I love what I do. And if you loved hearing from Woody as much as I did, then you can find more from him on Twitter at Woody Marshall. Likewise, it'd be great to see you behind the scenes on Instagram at H stebbings 1996 with 2Bs. But before you leave you today, and I want to spend a minute to talk about Brex, the first corporate card for startups, Brax founders Enrique Medro, built a payments business in Brazil, but found themselves rejected for a corporate card when they were in Y combinator.

Pretty incredible, I know, and you can sign up for Brexit today and get fees waived by entering the code Harry during signup. Honestly, it really is such a special service. And with Brax in place, we now need a team to really use the cards. And that's where Terminal comes in. Terminal is a startup that appreciates hiring amazing developers is really hard. Plus, it's even harder if you're only looking

  6. You mention Markets there, I had Peter Fanson on the show recently, and he said that in terms of kind of market sizing, Of me doing the show, Woody, is I get to ask questions that help my learning. So with the new fund, I kind of have board responsibilities that I've never had before as an institutional investor. So what advice would you give to me sitting on my first board as an institutional investor for the first time?

  7. I'm superintendent at the point that you intersect often kind of slightly later stages in the very early kind of foundations of finding product market fit. How does one look to really actively add value at the stage that you do? I spoke to Shaq and he talked about the immense value that you've provided to Spotify. How do you look to add value at this stage and with this very global mindset?

  8. So, we're going to break the interview today into three elements and discuss the world of venture and its inherent trends, the world of operations, and then finally learnings on being a great board member. But starting on Venture, we mentioned boom and bus cycles that you've experienced there. I'm intrigued if we kind of dig deeper into the venture ecosystem itself. What have been the core foundational transformations that you've seen over the last 23 years?

  10. Absolutely love that entry point, and it shows you cocktail parties are worth going to sometimes. I mean, one question, Woody, that fascinates me considering that 23 years in industry is you've seen the boom and bust of both the early 2000s and 2008. I'd love to hear, how does that impact? How do you think about the ecosystem today, Woody

  15. Prior to joining TCV, Woody spend 12 years at Trident Capital, where he focused on the payments, internet, and mobile markets, and I'd also want to say a huge thank you to both Shaq Khan and Mariam Nefisi at Minted for the intro to Woody's Day. The episode would not have been possible without you, and I so appreciate that. But before we dive into the show with Woody today, I want to spend a minute to talk about Brex. The first corporate card for startups, Brex founders Henrique and Pedro, built a payments business in Brazil, but found themselves rejected for a corporate card when they were in Y combinator. They decided to build Brex with instant online sign-up, no founder liability and limits 10 to 20 times higher than standard cards. Pretty incredible, I know, and you can sign up for Brax and get card fees waived by entering the code Harry during signup. Honestly, it truly is a special service. And with Brax in place, we now need a team to really use them. And that's where Terminal comes in. Terminal is the startup that appreciates hiring amazing developers is hard. Plus it's much harder if you're looking only in a 25 mile range.
