    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.

To work through this and more, James Currier is joined by Li Jin herself -- former investment partner at A16Z, now Founder and Managing Partner at Atelier. They discuss how NFTs are changing the economics of the Creator Economy, what happens when everyone has to be a marketer, and how they look for ways to make platform participants into platform owners.
