The Sherveen Show
tekijä: Sherveen Mashayekhi
Better Accounting = $$ = Growth (Daniel of Bags)
Tietoa podcastista
Where we discuss the intersection of startups, tech, business, and society.
I'm always interested in connecting two disparate stories, tying together unobvious trends, and paying attention to different communities. I'm not here to give you a scoop on the news, but instead to share a take, mine or someone else's. Because when we understand how things work, we can move with far more intention.
And by the way, I'm Sherveen, the founder and CEO of venture-backed Free Agency. I'm also an occasional angel investor and host of two other shows + podcasts. More than anything, I'm a nuance guy.
Sometimes, it'll be takes on the news. Other times, deep dives on evergreen topics. Sometimes, it'll just be me talking to you, and other times, it'll be conversations with startup founders, tech CEOs, academics, subject matter experts, and influencers. Always trying to connect the dots.
Twice a week.
