Y Combinator's Main Function: Eric Ries with Garry Tan — 'why don't we just stop pretending that we think that's good?'

Y Combinator drops a 50-minute Main Function episode of Garry Tan interviewing Eric — taking the YC founder community deep on shareholder primacy, mission-controlled companies, PBCs, Novo Nordisk's $600B foundation bet, and Anthropic's governance design. Posted from YC's main YouTube channel on launch-week eve.

“The best way to make money is to create more value than you capture, right? To build something that people want. And yet, we're all supposed to pretend these days that we think all kinds of making money is equally good. And there's so many ways of making money in our economy today where you can get rich without creating any value at all. And I just think like why don't we just stop pretending that we think that's good?” — Eric Ries on Y Combinator's Main Function podcast
