This week, a conversation with entrepreneur, podcaster and investor Ben Gilbert, who, in 2015, started two entities. The first is Pioneer Square Labs, a startup studio that builds and invests in early-stage companies. And the second transcends the walls of startup incubation as Ben teamed up with a venture capitalist named David Rosenthall and launched the podcast, Acquired FM, a great show that dives deep into the origin story of a company. I sat down with Ben to discuss his entry point into tech, the origin story of Pioneer Square Labs and Acquired FM and, of course, Ben’s views and ideologies on all things tech, startups, company building and everything in between. This conversation was recorded on October 8th, 2020, thanks for listening!
