OM DENNE EPISODE
On this episode of The Orbit Shift Podcast, we sit down with Alex Lazarow, venture capitalist and author of Out-Innovate: How Global Entrepreneurs from Delhi to Detroit Are Rewriting the Rules of Silicon Valley. Alex walks us through how startups outside Silicon Valley in what he calls ‘the frontier’ are innovating, what they are doing differently, and what other startups from Silicon Valley and beyond can learn from these frontier companies. He tells us why founders should build camels instead of unicorns, how to create A-teams, his long-term and midterm forecasts for venture capital during the Covid-19 pandemic, and much more.
