Scott and Alex talk about the big changes in venture capital and the growing number of people joining the space, seeing niches like solopreneurs and equity crowdfunding shoot up in popularity. Scott finishes off the show with a little game of founder pantheon, who are some of the greatest founders of all time and why?
