| 0:10.9 | Welcome to It Could Happen here, a podcast frequently about the horrifying tech ghouls, |
| 0:16.5 | and in this case, venture capital ghouls who are plotting to take over the United States and have |
| 0:21.4 | already made your lives significantly worse. I am your host, Mia Wong. And with me today, |
| 0:27.7 | I'm very, very excited about this. To talk about the forces of venture capital and how they're |
| 0:33.4 | ruining our lives is Shane Lee, who is one of the people who puts together the website VC InfoDox, |
| 0:40.2 | which I really cannot recommend enough. It is the most comprehensive compiled source of |
| 0:44.2 | information on these venture capital firms and the network state and all the things that I've |

| 1:36.7 | something was terribly wrong with this situation. And so I started following that down, |
| 2:02.5 | you know, over the course of years. And now I've been doing it for about 13 years. At different times, I've been more of an activist. I ran a tech critical magazine at one point. And now I really do a bunch of research and work with other researchers around the world to try to bring as much serious and material information about venture capital and what we're facing |
