What Is ZIRP And How Did It Poison Startups?
ZIRP stands for โZero Interest Rate Policy,โ and it refers to a stretch of time โ most recently throughout the pandemic โ in which the Federal Reserve sets interest rates around 0% and commercial banks are able to borrow money for next-to-nothing.
In this episode of Dalton & Michael, weโll talk about some of the downstream side effects we saw during this stretch of time: an explosion of unicorns, a surge of new investors, and the impact it had on the way founders think. Weโll share the advice we gave YC founders to brace them for the future, and how some companies made the right move in the middle of an unusual/unsustainable moment. Join us as we look back at how it all played out.

10 People + AI = Billion Dollar Company?
As AI continues to evolve and advance, a line of thinking has emerged that humans will no longer need to learn how to write code in the future. If so, could this mean that a staff of ten or less could create a unicorn? The hosts of Lightcone analyze this prediction and discuss whether it has merit.

Zero Interest Rate Policy: Handled incorrectly, too much money can be poison.
The artistry is actually in that interface between the human and the technology itself.
