The Further, Faster Podcast

What does it take to solve a global problem? For Shashwat Murarka the Founder and CEO of Doorstep, it meant sleeping on air mattresses, doing deliveries in the freezing New York winter, and entering a 14-month "monk mode" with no social media or TV to focus entirely on his mission. In this episode of the Further Faster podcast, Shashwat joins Jeff Becker to discuss the inception of Doorstep—a geospatial mapping company solving the "last 100ft" delivery problem through sensor fusion technology.Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned operator, Shashwat's intensity and values-driven approach offer a masterclass on building a company from the ground up.

In this episode of The Further, Faster podcast, Jeff Becker sits down with Caspar Barnes, the founder of AminoChain. Caspar's journey began at age 12 when a diagnosis of malignant melanoma sparked a lifelong fascination with biology. After discovering that patients lose all "agency" over their bio-samples once they leave the operating room, Caspar set out to build a decentralized research ecosystem. Now, after raising $7.8 million from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), AminoChain is building a platform that lets patients track how their donated samples are used in preclinical and clinical research—and even earn money back when those samples are commercialized. This episode is a must-watch for aspiring founders, biotech enthusiasts, and patient advocates who want to see how a personal experience with cancer transformed into a mission to give patients true agency and financial stakes in the multi-billion dollar medical research industry.

In this episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, Christoph Klink sits down with Daniel Khachab, the Co-founder and CEO of Choco, to discuss the high-stakes journey of building a global food-tech powerhouse. Daniel shares his "near-death experience" of checking his business dashboard before a flight from New York and landing in Berlin seven hours later to discover that 98% of Choco's revenue had vanished due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Rather than hibernating, the team chose to play offense, launching an online grocery store across 17 countries in just three weeks to save their distributors' food from going to waste.The conversation dives deep into Daniel's provocative thesis on the future of technology, where he argues that traditional SaaS is being replaced by "interface-less" AI. Daniel provides a masterclass on speed and the necessity of disrupting your own business before someone else does. This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of food sustainability, physical AI, and the relentless pursuit of global scale.
