Layer Zero is a podcast that goes beyond the surface with founders, builders, and VCs in tech, revealing the personal stories, motivations, and philosophies driving innovation. It’s where the “why” behind the “what” takes center stage.
In this episode, I sit down with Jake O’Shea, Principal at Antler and one of the sharpest thinkers on early-stage venture strategy. We dive into how founders can build real moats in a world where speed is everything, why GTM is the new product, and how momentum can become its own form of defensibility. Jake shares candid insights from working with dozens of startups globally—and what he’s seeing in the founders who are breaking through right now.
