This was a really fun episode for me because Mo is informed and knowledgeable on so many topics and being a Boston / NYC VC it gave us so much to talk about relative to just covering California VCs. We discussed NY vs. Silicon Valley and NY vs. Boston. No big shocker since it is co-founded by Biz Stone and Adam Ruegel.
