In addition to reviews of the movie tech insiders can’t stop talking about, they cover why every seed portfolio needs a little bit of fraud, how diligence scales with check size, having trademark rights to your own voice, and the pro rata rights debate that’s still raging over Valar Atomics’ lawsuit with seed investors Day One Ventures.GuestsSam Lessin on X: https://x.com/lessinSlow Ventures: https://slow.co/Paige Finn Doherty on X: https://x.com/paigefinnnBehind Genius Ventures: https://www.behindgeniusventures.com/Jenny Fielding on X: https://x.com/jefieldingEverywhere Ventures: https://www.everywhere.vc/Relevant LinksOpenSnow: https://opensnow.com/“You Can See Everything” trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvW_N5p1q44HBO Max “The Rehearsal” trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fjPFt8cpicElizabeth Holmes moves to halfway house in 2027 (ABC7): https://abc7.com/story/elizabeth-holmes-scheduled-move-halfway-house-august-2027/19862832/Billy Evans’ blood-testing startup Haemanthus (TechCrunch): https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/10/elizabeth-holmes-partner-reportedly-fundraising-for-new-blood-testing-startup/Polymarket: Oscars 2027 Best Picture: https://polymarket.com/event/oscars-2027-best-picture-winner-20260727173620857Kalshi: Oscars 2027 Best Documentary: https://kalshi.com/markets/kxoscardocu/event/kxoscardocu-27Charlie Javice sentenced to 7 years (NBC News): https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/charlie-javice-sentenced-7-years-prison-fraudulent-175m-sale-financial-rcna234536Trump pardons Nikola founder Trevor Milton (Axios): https://www.axios.com/2025/03/28/trump-pardons-nikola-founder-trevor-miltonSequoia writes its FTX stake down to zero (Fortune): https://fortune.com/2022/11/10/ftx-sam-bankman-fried-sequoia-writes-down-214-million-investment-to-zero-venture-capital-cryptoWho lost money on Theranos?
