S2E19: Advice Before Money: The VC Model Founders Actually Want — With Mike Ma.
Mike Ma doesn’t invest in decks. He invests in people.As Managing Partner and Head Coach at Sidecut Ventures, Mike works with what he calls “coachable superheroes”, early-stage, mission-driven founders tackling real problems in economic mobility, healthcare, climate, and education.In this conversation, we unpack what it actually means to be coachable as a founder, why most advice fails in practice, and how real progress happens when coaching, capital, and execution collide. Mike shares lessons from the trenches — blending Fortune 500 experience with venture-backed CXO roles, and explains why the best founders don’t just seek answe...

Fun Facts About Snowboarding
Snowboarding traces its modern origins to the 1965 invention of the Snurfer, created by engineer Sherman Poppen as a way to combine surfing and snow play. This early stand-up sled, which sold over a million units, was later adapted by Jake Burton Carpenter, who added bindings and applied engineering principles to the design, transforming it from a toy into the high-performance board known today. However, the idea of riding sideways on snow is not entirely new; for over 400 years, villagers in Patron, Turkey, have used large wooden planks called lazboards to navigate snow-covered roads. Snowboards are also responsible for a...

The Conversation That Changed How I Understand Skis: Jurij Franko on the Birth of Modern Ski Design
This is a remastered release (2018) of one of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve ever had about skiing.Before I had proper mics or a real podcast setup, I sat down with Jurij Franko - the physicist, former racer, and engineer behind the original shaped-ski revolution at Elan. The audio is now cleaned up, and I’m thrilled to bring this episode back because it genuinely changed how I understand skis.Jurij’s story starts in the late 80s, when he became the first person to apply mathematics to ski design. His work v...

E219: How Emerging Managers Can Beat Multi-Stage Firms
How do you underwrite pre-seed founders when the only durable asset is the human—before there’s product-market fit? In this episode, I go deep with Mike Ma, Managing Partner at Sidecut Ventures, on his 30-day “work-alongside” diligence, why he optimizes for action-oriented self-awareness, and how to calibrate coachability—especially in go-to-market—without overfitting to investor bias. We unpack earned secrets, impact theses in education, climate, healthcare, and economic mobility, solo-GP advantages, alignment pitfalls from 2021-era rounds, and the mindset habits he wishes he’d had earlier: “write at a fourth-grade level” and “document your screw-ups.” Highlights: The 30-day “grind with them”...

“You Can’t Come Home” with Martin Tobias from Incisive Ventures | Alone Together | Ep. 11
“[My dad] took me down to Child Protective Services and dropped me off and said, you can't come home .… What it made me do was prove that he was fucking wrong about me.”To say I was floored by my conversation with Martin Tobias, founder of Incisive Ventures, would be a mild understatement.In this episode, Martin tells this traumatic story, and how that chip on his shoulder became fuel: from teenage exile → Microsoft manager → IPO → prolific VC.But this isn’t a fund-size story.

Vulnerable Willpower: Andy Will on Faith, Patriotism, Venture, and More | Alone Together | S1E7
Patriotism isn't exactly a comfortable topic in venture. Faith often feels equally off-limits. But Andy Will—managing partner at Willpower VC—is unafraid to embrace both openly, believing deeply that venture capital can indeed be a fundamentally patriotic act.In this candid, thoughtful, and at times provocative conversation, Andy unpacks what patriotism means to him: not flag-waving or chest-thumping, but actively building the world you want to see through meaningful, economically empowering ventures. His conviction comes from a deeply personal place—growing up as the son of military parents, witnessing his father's profound impact on wounded soldiers at Wal...
