EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of All-In Podcast, featuring Jason Calacanis and David Sacks, E26: State of Venture Capital, plus fan questions on longevity, decentralization & quantum computing explores Venture Capital’s New Playbook: Longevity, Bitcoin, Quantum, and SPACs The episode blends fan Q&A with a deep dive into how venture capital is being reshaped by new technologies, new financing tools, and shifting power dynamics. The hosts discuss practical longevity strategies, the political and economic implications of Bitcoin and decentralized finance, and the realistic timeline and impact of quantum computing. They then analyze how venture capital has evolved: larger rounds, crossover investors, SPACs, non-dilutive revenue financing, and increased—though still insufficient—founder and investor diversity. The conversation ends by emphasizing how much easier it is today to start and finance a company, and urging aspiring founders to build real skills and reject a victim mindset.
