All-In Podcast

Four veteran tech investors and entrepreneurs debate the week's biggest stories in technology, politics, finance, and science.

The brief

A weekly roundtable where four self-made tech moguls offer unfiltered, and often libertarian-leaning, analysis of current events. The conversation moves from high-level market dynamics and geopolitical strategy to inside-baseball tech industry gossip and political commentary. It's a view of the world's major events through the specific lens of capital allocation, founder psychology, and technological disruption.

The show's core is the dynamic between the four co-hosts, all established figures in the tech world whose friendships and frequent disagreements are on full display. Unlike typical news analysis, their perspective is deeply rooted in their experiences as operators, investors, and capital allocators.
