In 19 years of friendship and partnership in the startup world, Jerry and Fred have seen just about everything. In this conversation, they share some stories from the Flatiron Partnership days, what makes a perfect board, the importance of trust in investing, and what makes a good leader. They even discuss the sheer terror they felt on their own entrepreneurial journey.
