About Forward Thinking Founders
Nearing 1,000 episodes, Forward Thinking Founders is a founder podcast where Mat Sherman, founder of Seedscout, interviews high-potential founders from networks like Y Combinator, The Thiel Fellowship, Product Hunt, Twitter, etc. and brings to light what they’re building for the world. Think if like the opposite of How I Built This, where Matt interviews founders before they are successful, then if they are, we have a moment in time we can look on in the early says.
