Riva Tez on Genius, Mania and The Impact of Cancel Culture on Our Collective Intelligence
She grew up caring for her mother. Now she is investing in the future.
Today’s guest is Riva Tez - a philosopher, curious thinker, intellect, investor and one of my favourite people on the internet. Listen here or wherever it is you get your podcasts from.
She studied Philosophy at UCL before digging deeper into technology and engineering and starting the Berlin Singularity.
She went on to co-found Permutation Ventures — an early stage VC fund which focused on AI startups and, she has also worked with Jim Keller at Intel as Senior Director for Strategic Technology Initiatives. Listen here or wherever it is you get your podcasts from.
Whilst at university, Riva started a toy shop in Notting Hill where she encouraged her young clientele to become mini entrepreneurs and philosophers.
In this episode, Riva and I discuss how she got into crypto early, the link as she sees it, between mania and genius, cancel culture and what keeps her up at night.
I really enjoyed talking to Riva and I think you will get a lot from this episode. Listen here or wherever it is you get your podcasts from.
Enjoy and happy new year!
