Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

In this episode, we are joined by Mira Mihaylova from Piton Capital. Since its inception in 2010, Piton Capital has focused solely on network effects businesses, having invested in over 100 businesses, all with network effects, and the vast majority of them are marketplaces. Some of the things we’ll talk about: Frontal vs lateral attack strategy: Mira highlights the challenges of launching a marketplace that directly competes with an established player (frontal attack), advising founders to instead focus on a smaller adjacent market to gain traction and gradually expand into the larger market (lateral attack). The importance of starting in a small, adjacent market: Mira explains how focusing on a niche can lead to faster product-market fit and eventual scalability. Why liquidity is the core of any marketplace: She stresses the importance of building liquidity before worrying about advanced tech or scaling. The role of AI in disrupting marketplaces: Mira discusses how AI can optimize marketplace operations and help founders stay ahead of competition.

S2E11 - How a comic book community turned into a marketplace - Gene Miguel (Shortboxed) 49:48

۲ years پیش49:48

49:48

A community can be a strong foundation for a marketplace. In the early days, it helps with onboarding initial supply and demand and creates trust. Later, it can form a powerful moat that defends the marketplace from competitors. But building a community takes time and work and, most importantly, engaging in it yourself. In this episode, Sjoerd interviews Gene Miguel, CEO and co-founder of Shortboxed, a marketplace for buying and selling comic books. Gene and his co-founder have been lifelong comic book nerds. They both had day jobs in tech, but dealt comic books on the side and spent their days off at comic book conventions. They also started a comic book blog, around which slowly a community started to form. As dealers, they experienced first-hand how poorly and inefficiently the entire comic book secondary market was run. That’s when they decided to build Shortboxed. In this season’s final Two-Sided interview, Gene shares: How starting a blog helped them build the community How building in public with the community helped them onboard the first supply and demand What a double-bind marketplace is, and why Shortboxed uses that model How they faked many features by running them manually before automating them A compelling story of a marketplace where passion is combined with a solid business case.…

S2E10 - Growing a marketplace through perseverance - Trisha Bantigue (Queenly) 44:58

۲ years پیش44:58

44:58

Sometimes, the story of the founder can be just as interesting as the story of the marketplace. In the case of Trisha Bantigue, this is certainly the case. Trisha was born in the Philippines, raised by her grandparents, immigrated to the US at age 10, and paid her way through college by competing in pageants. Today, she is the CEO and co-founder of Queenly, a marketplace for formal dresses. Queenly is backed by prestigious investors such as YCombinator and Andreessen Horowitz. Though Two-sided does not focus on founder stories, Trisha's journey is pivotal in the story of Queenly. The idea behind the platform comes from Trisha's own pageant experience. And marketplaces in their early stages need non-scalable tactics; in other words, perseverance. Trisha had that in plenty. In the latest episode of Two-sided, Trisha tells Sjoerd how Queenly got to where it is now: Launching the app and getting absolutely no traction for months. The difficulty of estimating your own worth as a first-time founder. The challenge of talking to investors in a way that makes them understand your vision and punctures their preconceptions. How to deal with incredible setbacks, and turn them around for the better. Overall, a truly inspiring story for all of the marketplace founders listening…

S2E09 - How Drive lah balances speed vs. quality - Gaurav Singhal (Drive lah) 45:26

۲ years پیش45:26

45:26

First-time marketplace founders often struggle to balance speed to market and marketplace quality. On the one hand, launching an MVP as fast as possible is often the best strategy. On the other hand, high quality and trustworthiness are essential, especially for peer-to-peer marketplaces. Despite being first-time founders, Gaurav Singhal and Dirk-Jan ter Horst cracked this trade-off from the get-go. When they launched their peer-to-peer car rental platform in Singapore, their sole focus was to get to the market fast. Yet they had a clear vision for Drive lah’s customer experience from day one. In the latest episode of Two-Sided, Gaurav shares his lessons on: Transitioning from a corporate job to entrepreneurship: both founders were working at the same corporation, where they conceived the idea over lunch. Testing potential features with manual work before building them – and spending lots of time with customers in the process. Launching fast with Sharetribe Flex without compromising on their customer experience vision. Working with regulatory limits: before Drive lah, it was illegal in Singapore for private individuals to rent out their car. Putting trust front and center: having raised their seed round one month before Covid, Drive lah was able to turn a potential disaster into a tailwind. Expanding Drive lah to Australia as Drive mate. And much more. An enlightening episode, with something for everyone building a marketplace.…

Marketplaces have conquered some industries earlier and faster than others. Besides home-sharing and ride-haling, one such industry is fashion. The European second-hand clothing giant Vinted was founded in 2008. The US-based Poshmark started in 2011 and is now a listed company. One might think there are no opportunities left for new marketplaces in these pioneer industries. One would be wrong. In this episode of Two-Sided, Sjoerd talks to David Oates, CEO and co-founder of Curtsy. Curtsy is thriving in one of the most crowded spaces for marketplaces: reselling apparel. On the podcast, David shares the most important lessons they learned since Curtsy was founded in 2015: Be efficient: Curtsy reached $25M in GMV with a team of six. Start with one niche: Curtsy started as a peer-to-peer dress rental platform for sorority students in Southern universities in the United States. Don’t force your business model on your market: it took Curtsy some time to find out people wanted to sell rather than rent out their pre-loved clothing. Have big bets on your roadmap: David finds it important that Curtsy doesn’t only focus on incremental improvements. Get the best advice available: Curtsy was part of Y Combinator, which is generally considered one of the best startup accelerators in the world. A very entertaining episode, showing that even crowded spaces have room for new entrants with an innovative approach.…

Jason Bergman thinks most marketplace founders underestimate the power of sales. Jason is a big sports fan and has always loved working in sales. Before founding MarketPryce, he ran his own sports agency where he tried acquiring customers by sending Instagram messages to almost three thousand professional athletes. The success rate of the Instagram tactic was pretty terrible. But the experience paid off big time when Jason co-founded MarketPryce, a platform for athletes to find marketing deals. MarketPryce has matched thousands of brands and athletes together. For finding both sides, effective direct sales has been a core strategy. In the latest episode of Two-Sided, Sjoerd talks with Jason about: How most marketplace founders still underestimate the power of direct sales How a change in regulation grew MarketPryce’s market one hundred times overnight How MarketPryce modeled its user experience after Tinder. A fun episode, giving a glimpse inside a relatively early-stage marketplace growing very rapidly.…
