This show is about unfiltered conversations about success, failure, fear and courage, in the pursuit of the next big thing in tech and venture.
From boardroom power plays to investor backchannels, you’ll hear the untold stories behind iconic companies like YouTube, Canva, and Vimeo, and go inside the minds of those moving capital at firms like Sequoia, Lightspeed, and beyond.

This isn’t just another business podcast. This is your billion-dollar playbook.
Think Oprah meets Guy Raz with a touch of BBC HardTalk, Billion Dollar Moves is an insightful, conversational-style show where we dive deep into the personal and business journey of founders on their 1-10 journey (i.e point of scale, post product-market fit, global expansion, growth pains) and the funds that invest in them.
From boardroom power plays to investor backchannels, you’ll hear the untold stories behind iconic companies like YouTube, Canva, and Vimeo, and go inside the minds of those moving capital at firms like Sequoia, Lightspeed, and beyond.
