    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.

    Show notes

    This is The Founders' List - audio versions of essays from technology’s most important leaders, selected by the founder community. In his final letter to shareholders, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on Thursday laid out a broad vision for the future of the company, committing to extend Amazon’s famous obsession over its customers to the same level of care for its employees.

    The CEO That Jeff Bezos Called “His Teacher” with Jeff Wilke & James Currier Apr 20, 2021
    Show notes

    Jeff Wilke (former CEO, Amazon's Worldwide Consumer Business) sheds light on a counter-intuitive driver behind unusual success: Focus on the inputs, not the outputs. Jeff shares the 3 drivers underlying the rise of Amazon, Prime, Alexa, and AWS, including: 1. "Mechanisms": Amazon's definition, two failure modes, and why they're harder to implement than it first appears 2. A Single-Page Culture: How Amazon's set of principles proved to be an inoculation against a drifting culture 3. Single-Threaded Invention In practice, operational excellence is the key driver to executing consistently for the long term. It is the secret for harnessing creativity that compounds value over time.


    The Founders' List: 1997 Letter to Amazon Shareholders Apr 20, 2021
    Show notes

    This is The Founders' List - audio versions of essays from technology’s most important leaders, selected by the founder community. Amazon's approach to building sustainable long-term value should be a lesson to all companies - not just Internet companies. When Jeff Bezos took Amazon public 24 years ago, he sent this letter to all Shareholders and is still considered a playbook for building a great company - read by NFX. "1997 was indeed an incredible year. We at Amazon.com are grateful to our customers for their business and trust, to each other for our hard work, and to our shareholders for their support and encouragement."


    The Founders' List: Gigi Levy-Weiss on "How VCs Think: The Psychology That Drives Investing Decisions" Apr 15, 2021
    Show notes

    This is The Founders’ List – audio versions of essays from technology’s most important leaders, selected by the founder community. "For a startup, understanding VCs’ mindsets is often as important as understanding the mindsets of your customers. With no capital most Founders will not win, so you’d better learn the language." VCs speak a different language, one that Founders must learn to be able to raise capital. Understand the psychological drivers and use them to evaluate your counterpart’s state of mind. And repeat the core narratives: we are low risk; we will be huge; others are interested and moving forward.

    A Proposal to Jack & Zuck: Chris Anderson (ex-WIRED) & James Currier on Regulating Social Media Apr 12, 2021
    Show notes

    The usual Silicon Valley response to regulation is to offer self-regulation instead — but only tech companies have the skills and speed to fix what they broke, unable to manage the influence over the public sphere they attained almost by accident. Unless the few who know how to actually build these tech networks speak out, it won’t just be technology that suffers - it will be the entire world. Having built, funded, and analyzed “unicorn” social networks for 25 years and former Editor-in-Chief of Wired magazine, Chris Anderson and NFX Partner James Currier formulate a solution that resurrects a concept from the golden age of newspapers - the ombudsman. The ombudsman is another important node in the network that has proven itself in the past and is still missing. Listen as Chris and James outline together why these network problems require network solutions, here on the NFX Podcast.
