Is the Startup World Overemphasizing Quality at the Expense of Innovation?

When it comes to startups’ flight to quality, have we swung too far in the other direction? Hello, and welcome back to Equity, the podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines. This is our new Saturday show, where we sit down with a guest, think about their work, and unpack the rest. This week, we talked to Jenny Fielding, co-founder and managing partner at Everywhere Ventures, a founder collective and early-stage (think pre-seed) venture firm. Jenny and I discussed a wide variety of topics, including startups’ flight to quality in 2024 and how smaller firms are competing with larger firms in the current investment landscape.

Welcome to a fresh installment of Equity, the podcast dedicated to all things startups. Join us as we delve into the nitty-gritty details and insider secrets that accompany the ever-changing business landscape.

Come join us and our guest on this week’s episode of Equity, where we sit down with Jenny Fielding, the brilliant mind behind Everywhere Ventures, a pioneering venture firm specializing in pre-seed investments. Together, we’ll explore a myriad of topics, including the recent trend of startups seeking quality rather than quantity, and the increasing competition between small and large firms in the current market.

We’ll also take a deep dive into the current state of venture capitalism, tackling the controversial topic of mass resignations among top VC firms. Jenny is a fearless advocate, and we’ll be sure to gain some valuable insights from her years of experience.

In addition to her role at Everywhere Ventures, Jenny has an impressive history in the startup world. She has previously held the position of Managing Director at Techstars accelerator and has founded multiple successful companies, such as the mobile software giant, Switch Mobile, which was later acquired by Via One.

So come on, settle in and hit play to join in on the adventure with us. Unfortunately, we’ll be taking a small break for a U.S. holiday on Monday, but we’ll be back on Tuesday with another thrilling episode of Equity.
