Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups where we unpack the numbers and the nuance behind the headlines. My name is

Alex and this is our Wednesday show where we sit down with a guest, think about their work, and then unpack the rest.

Now, earlier this month, Techwants reported that Anu Hari Haran, who led YC continuity before that was scrapped,

aka the Y Accommodator Growth Investing Initiative,

has partnered with two of her former colleagues

and former Brex Executive Lucas Fox

to launch a new fund that is targeting a raise of about 350 million dollars and will

operate along a similar program to what they were doing previously at YC.

So today we are throwing it back to a conversation we had with Onu earlier this year

about what makes a great founder, cash flow break even status amongst later

stage startups, and even a look at the future of IPOs.

So if you are a later stage founder, this one's for you and I think everyone should enjoy it.

So please listen on, let's have some fun.

Today we are joined by Anu Hurry-Haran. She was previously at YEC's later stage investing team.

She also worked at Andreessen Horowitz. Before that, the Boston Consulting Group. She has been around, she knows a lot, she's on the board of Avis, Brex,

whatnot, Monzo, Rapi, and Zepto, and she had a really great tweet. So we

absolutely had to have on the show, Anu, welcome to Equity. Thank you for having me

Alex. Great to be here.

I'm very excited about this whole conversation

because there's a lot to get through with the recent IPO filings

and all of that.

But I know you're no longer at YC
