Zero to Umm — Steven Plappert (Forecastr)

Steven Plappert, co-founder of Forecastr, details his journey as a second-time founder, highlighting lessons learned from his first venture's failure, such as separating personal identity from the business and the reduced variance of experienced entrepreneurship. He discusses Forecastr's "Iron Man suit" AI strategy, the importance of strategic judgment calls like downshifting a Series A, and the compounding value of networking for distribution and fundraising.
