Become an editor not a writer with Jeremy Liew, partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners
Description
My guest today is Jeremy Liew, a partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners.
Jeremy heads up investments in consumer technology at Lightspeed, a well-known Silicon Valley venture capital firm, and has invested in iconic and culturally relevant companies, including Snap, Giphy, Rothy’s, Affirm, Honest, Cheddar, and many more.
Jeremy is willing to embrace the beginner’s mind and practice things he doesn’t know how to do - even when it is uncomfortable. And as we discuss, that trait has paid dividends throughout his personal and professional life.
In this interview, Jeremy and I discuss his first experience in sales in his mid-20s. As a business operator and first time investor myself, we dive into how Jeremy recognizes consumer trends and the difference between being a business operator versus an investor.
I hope you enjoy this conversation about startups, consumer trends, and learning with my friend, Jeremy Liew.
