LinkedIn Co-Founder, Reid Hoffman

Today on the podcast we are joined by tech titan ​Reid Hoffman. As the founder of LinkedIn, which Microsoft acquired for $26 billion, Reid is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in history.

He broke through as a founding board member of PayPal, one of the so-called PayPal mafia alongside Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Reid went on to become a legendary investor both as an angel and partner at Greylock. He invested in Facebook’s first round and led Airbnb’s Series A.

Reid operates right at the cutting edge of AI. He was one of the first backers and board members of OpenAI. He’s also on the board of Microsoft, which did a $650M+ deal with Reid’s startup, Inflection AI. You’ll remember Inflection from our interview with Deepmind’s Mustafa Suleyman, Reid’s co-founder.

Alongside all of this, Reid has forged a path as one of Silicon Valley’s public intellectuals. Following startup bibles like Blitzscaling, his latest book is "Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right With Our AI Future.”
