Description

For the longest time, we've only financed personal and professional projects by acquiring debt. But what if, the same way investors bet on super early-stage business ideas, we could bet on high-potential people through an income share agreement, regardless of what those people decide to do in their lives? Equity-based financing for people is barely talked about, yet Sam Lessin has been practicing for several years. And he believes it's one of the things that can soon disrupt the big picture of the internet. Sam is the kind of person you go to to get a peek into the next few decades and likely to get your mind blown a little bit. He is a General Partner at Slow Ventures, a VC firm that invested in companies like Slack, Dropbox, Pinterest, and hundreds of others. Sam also writes for The Information, and he built Drop.io, which was sold to Facebook and leading him to become Zuck's VP of Product. Now co-founder of Fin, he is instrumenting and optimizing the future of work. In this episode: The logistics behind equity-based financing for people The sweet spot between logical and crazy What being early or late really means And how AI can improve knowledge jobs. Starting something new?Visit latitud.com to learn about the Latitud Fellowship program.Set up an international corporate structure accepted by international investors with Latitud Go.
