Into the Impossible With Brian Keating
Science:Natural Sciences
David Friedberg believes that science is the best hope to save humanity. He is an American entrepreneur, businessman, and angel investor. After several years in investment banking and private equity, Friedberg joined Google in March 2004 as one of the first 1,000 employees and a founding member of Google’s Corporate Development group. As Corporate Development and Business Product Manager, Friedberg helped run Google's online advertising platform, AdWords, and negotiated acquisitions and worked with Google co-founder Larry Page.
David appears each week as one of the four Besties on the @allin Podcast - one of Apple and Spotify’s Top podcasts — alongside fellow investors and pundits David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, and Jason Calicanis.
He founded and was chief executive of The Climate Corporation, whose $1.1 billion sale to Monsanto in 2013 made it the first unicorn (finance) in the agricultural technology space. He is founder and CEO of The Production Board (TPB). He is a co-host of the All-In podcast. Spanning his career, he has contributed to 32 patents.
His investment portfolio includes Afterparty, Dave, The Every Company, Soylent, Supergut, Medico and many more.
In this extended discussion, the indefatigable Friedberg weighs in entrepreneurship styles, investing, how to incentivize research and the problems with commercialization of institutional research. David provides some rare insight into his strategies for his almost superhuman productivity, his venture capital philosophy for successful investments, a tutorial on the microbiome, his thoughts on AI and so much more!
