On Monday we published the first episode of the Inevitable Podcast. You can watch it on YouTube or listen on Spotify, PocketCasts, and other apps.
Our first guest is Rafael Sanches. I've known him for about 7 years. We've met while he was running Allthecooks, which he bootstrapped, grew it to become the number #1 recipe app in the U.S., and sold it to Cookpad, the biggest recipe website in the world.
Today, he’s the founder of Anycart, an online grocery service that makes it easy and affordable for consumers in more than 3,400 cities in the U.S. to shop for groceries and cook the meals they love. Their investors include Menlo, Pear and Greycroft.
Rafael is a relentless inevitable founder, a phenomenal contrarian, and a brilliant product genius. And it's rare for me to use these adjectives to describe people. I hope you enjoy the incredible conversation we've had for this episode and learn from his beautiful and inspiring story.
In the episode, I asked him questions such as:
I hope you like it!

During the past 15 days, I have had many people around me contract COVID-19. Folks in multiple parts of the US, Europe, and Brazil.
Inevitable founders are deeply connected to the mission of their companies. There is no plan B for the inevitable. The interests are aligned.
This post is about how I got my job at FundersClub and insights for the ones that are interested in becoming Venture Investors themselves.
