Garry Tan on Posterous, Palantir, YC, Initialized and Influencer Investing

The ending with GT was great, where he talked about the importance of maintaining a growth mindset in the startup and tech ecosystem, so that more startups can be built in the future.

It's something that you see in podcasting, vlogging, and comedy, where people help each other out, rather than compete with a self-serving mindset of "winner take all"

It was great to hear Garry spread the message of wanting to help others, from both a VC and company-building standpoint

A few folks asked us to ungate this Acquired x Gary Tan LP show episode for the YC community so we went ahead and did that.

One fun thing from this episode: I never realized that before Initialized when Garry was a partner at YC, he was designing early homepages for companies in the batch… including HelloSign and GOAT :)
