233: Money Talks with Elliott Griffin | Pete’s Path into Crypto | Founder-VC Relationships | The Irish VC Crossover | Inside Techstars

We’ve got a special crossover episode this week courtesy of our friends at the Irish VC podcast, with a big shout-out to Finn Hatherell for producing the initial episode on the Irish VC podcast channel over the summer. The Irish VC podcast is produced by BVP Investments, an Ireland-based venture capital firm founded in 2004 by Elliott Griffin.

In this episode, Elliott and Pete Townsend share a few stories on venture investing, Pete’s path into crypto, working with founders before and after investing in them, building products that people actually want, what it’s like inside a Techstars program, the power of founder market fit, founders and investors being accountable to each other, how to get the attention of VCs, why Pete is still doing MoneyNeverSleeps after all of these years, and learning from our mistakes.
