ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Ben Horowitz talks with Recode’s Kara Swisher about the state of venture capital, diversity in tech, and his new book, What You Do Is Who You Are: How to Create Your Business Culture. Horowitz also discusses the impact of SoftBank’s $100 billion Vision Fund on Silicon Valley, why he wouldn’t invest in a social or mobile startup today, and what former CEO Travis Kalanick got right — and very wrong — with Uber’s culture. Plus: Why “break” was the exact right word for Facebook to use in its “move fast and break things” era.
