    The NFX Podcast

    The NFX Podcast is for founders building the next generation of technology companies.

    At NFX, we believe the best startups are built by founders who understand network effects, defensibility, and the power of product-led growth. On this podcast, we go deep with entrepreneurs, operators, and investors on what it actually takes to go from zero to one — and from one to market-defining.

    We explore startup strategy, early-stage fundraising, AI-native company building, marketplaces, growth loops, network effects, and the frameworks behind enduring tech companies. But more than tactics, this is about the founder journey — decision-making under uncertainty, building conviction, developing taste, hiring early teams, and creating companies that matter.

    If you’re a startup founder, builder, or early operator looking to think differently and build something durable, this is your edge.

    Built for founders. Backed by network effects. Powered by NFX.

    Cyan Banister on the Future of AR/VR Sep 08, 2020
    Show notes

    Cyan Banister is an early stage investor in Uber, Niantic, SpaceX, many others. She’s a partner at Long Journey Ventures and spends most of her time dreaming about what the future could look like. In this NFX conversation with James Currier, they talk about the opportunities of AR, VR and the future of human connection. Highlights from the conversation: - Allow yourself to become obsessed with something. Really obsess about the product and dream about what it can become. - Invest in things that will become part of your life. - Futurism is more than being intellectual, it’s more about daydreaming, it’s about how you feel and how you live. - Silicon Valley is getting too serious. Where did the hacker mentality go? AR, and crypto are real frontier categories where there is still bright eyedness of “we don’t know what’s going to happen.” - Endless curiosity helps identify people who are solving problems that are actually real problems. - Be curious about how systems work. Analyze businesses and what makes them special. Try to figure out the economics of everything, anything. - Sometimes it makes sense to paint inside the lines, but sometimes you really have to paint outside the lines. Regarding the future of VR: There's no reason why you and I, if we want to hang out, that we have maybe 8 options… go to dinner, have a phone call, see a movie, maybe go for a walk… but why aren't there thousands of options? There should be so many, that's why Founders need to think bigger.

    Nir Erez from Moovit on Mobility as a Service (MaaS) Aug 31, 2020
    Show notes

    "Mobility as a service" is the idea of packaging together one person's entire portfolio of transportation options. Even if it’s a different mode of transportation for the first mile, the bulk of the journey, and for the last mile. Car, ferry, ride share, bike, scooter, whatever - all serviceable in the same app. This is the future that Nir Erz, CEO at Moovit, can see clearly, and why Intel bought Moovit for $900M. NFX partner Gigi Levy-Weiss sits down in Israel with Nir to discuss how Moovit beat Google Maps in data, why KPIs are pure gold, how to think globally when launching locally, and what the future of transportation looks like. Highlights from the conversation: 1. Building data and data network effects How to leverage your user base to build a volunteer workforce of data (the Wikipedia volunteer model) >> pseudo-automatic data capture Two tricks for launching in new markets: acknowledge to users that the app is not complete, and directly ask them for their help Why data is central to Moovit's product value (an important factor discussed in our essay on data network effects) How to build a verticalized data moat (public transit data) that allows you to compete and beat a big horizontal incumbent (aka Google Maps) 2. The Importance of KPIs - "KPIs are gold" Knowing what the right industry benchmarks are can be extremely valuable for your company. The right KPIs can save you from wasting time and effort. Why Founders should set clear success metrics for their company or quit "Guys, those are my best years and I'm not gonna waste my best years on a company that is not going to take off. So my only request to you is -- let's set measurable goals for every stage of the company. If we’re not going to hit those goals, I’m not going to stick around." 3. The future of transport and mobility The future of transport is multimodal Cities, in particular, will be multimodal, with different transportation for the first mile, the bulk of the journey, and the last mile. People will want one seamless solution that allows them to pay for various modes of transport. "Mobility as a service" is the idea of packaging one person's entire portfolio of transport options at one access point / platform
