David Fialkow - Paint Outside the Lines - [Invest Like the Best, EP. 243]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest today is David Fialkow, co-founder of General Catalyst. If you are looking for a dose of fun, charismatic energy from a very unique investor then this is the conversation for you. David has a diverse background not only as an investor but also as a philanthropist and filmmaker. He won an Academy Award for his role as the producer of the 2018 documentary Icarus. During our conversation, David and I dive into what makes a great founder, the importance of storytelling, and the value of effectively convening people within your network. After listening to all of his great stories, I think you’ll see why David has so much fun and success helping founders. Please enjoy my great conversation with David Fialkow.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page</span> <a href= "https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/48136535/fialkow-paint-outside-the-lines"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>------</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>This episode is brought to you by</strong> <a href= "https://canalyst.com/request-demo/?utm_source=iltb_show_notes&utm_medium=sponsored_content&utm_campaign=Invest%20Like%20The%20Best&utm_term=sep_21_21&utm_content=iltb_sep_21_21"> <strong>Canalyst</strong></a><strong>.
