0:00Hello, boys and girls, ladies, and germs.
0:02This is Tim Ferriss.
0:03Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to deconstruct world-class performers across all disciplines.
0:09My guest today comes from the world of business, Kevin Ryan.
0:13He is one of the leading entrepreneurs and investors in New York, which is an understatement.
0:17Often called the godfather of New York City Tech, he is the founder and CEO of AliCorp, a New York-based venture capital firm that incubates and invests across, catch this, healthcare, AI and software, consumer tech, deep tech, and more.
0:30But investing is just part of it.
0:32He is also co-founder of several notable companies, including MongoDB, Business Insider, Zola, Guild Group, and Transcend Therapeutics.
0:41What do those all have in common?
0:42They are completely different industries.
0:44Earlier in his career, Kevin was the CEO of DoubleClick, which he helped grow from a 20-person startup to a publicly traded company with more than 1,500 employees.
0:53We get into a lot here, so without further ado, please enjoy a very wide-ranging and tactical conversation with the one and only Kevin Ryan.
