Chris Sacca

We're going to chat about your venture capital raise shortly, but a lot of folks found out about Hatch by first its appearance on Shark Tank in 2016.

You ultimately partnered with Chris Sacca after that experience, and you've publicly said that your trajectory of Hatch had been changed by the exposure of Shark Tank.

Ta- take us back to that moment.

What was going through your head walking onto that stage, and what did that experience really unlock for Hatch in paving the way for these incredible products that are launching very soon?

Again, no cameras, no producers, nothing.

And it was a super fun hour-long conversation, and they all passed.

And then we did what we had planned, which is to tell Chris Sacca that he could come in on the terms that we had offered to our, in our seed round, and he did.

And he's been a great partner ever since.

Wait, so like fund one?

Chris Sacca's fund, 200.

Fund one?

Fund one.

Thrive.

Not, I think not yet.

So Chris Sacca's is like the most notable.

No, Josh Kushner's Thrive.

...is the arc going forward.

Chris Sacca is a cowboy-shirted ex-Googler, uh, and he wrote early checks for Twitter, Uber, Instagram, Stripe, Twilio, turned $8.4 million into billions.

Some people would argue the most successful venture capitalist ever.

And he told Tim Ferriss last year that he is only investing in tech if it's tech to enable in real-life experiences, that everything he's doing is analog.

Quote, "The last bastion of humanity is going to be in the random, unpredictable messiness of humans, the rough fucking edges that make no sense." Dude's buying warehouse space in rural United States where he can bring people together and have art and sports.

Um, make me the case, um, about what survives of that human creative endeavor going forward.

Is it in real-life experiences? Is Chris Sacca onto something or what would you do today in that respect?

I think we can look a little bit at the past few years and I think one thing to look at is how the price of luxury goods has fared-

Oh, that's him?

Chris Sacca, yeah.

That's him?

Yeah.
