Episode #7 of Yesterday:

Jack Altman is the founder of Lattice, a now multi-billion dollar company. He recently launched Alt Capital, a 150M early-stage venture fund.

We discuss Jack’s suburban upbringing and going from Princeton to quitting investment banking in his first year. This led to a start in venture capital, followed by a tenure at Teespring, the fastest-growing YC company at the time, and the eventual origins of Lattice.
