It was great talking to Tim Ferriss (https://lnkd.in/gbRDxYsk) about everything from growing up in South Africa, the concept of the founder-problem fit, and our philosophy and approach to building legendary companies here at Sequoia. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/g-ndF8Ty

Great Pod. Lots of wisdom especially about thinking long-term.
Roelof Botha Hi Roelof, Our team is building the next Swiss retail and trading bank made it available to high income earners in California and the States that wants diversification and asset protection with the benefit of modern banking solutions. There are already six private banks serving US customers; our differentiator is that while these banks require a threshold entry amount of CHF 1m, our bank reduced it to 150K. The bank requires a certified SEC professional team. In US there are 4.5m high income earners (above USD 250K),* executives, SME, entrepreneurs and digital nomads in this unserved niche. Trading platform and safe depository for Crypto (avoiding another American FTX alike) is given. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-net-worth_individual * https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-calculator/ I would appreciate if we can receive a feedback from your team and would like to connect with our CEO with extensive expertise in Credit Suisse. Available in Palo Alto for a meeting. Best regards, Giulio Sartori
If people knew in which companies their money gets invested and how much of their invested money merely lands up in the pockets of the super-wealthy, would they still invest via this channel?
Great podcast- getting the story behind the person was very interesting.
Tim's pronunciation of "Roelof" is worth a chuckle 🤭 The "founder-problem fit" is bang on🔨

Looking forward to listening to this!!!!
This is a great podcast, not only because it is a professional and personal area of interest (pe/vc), but mainly because that we are inherently the same across the globe with just different cultures that we should share!
