How to launch a startup into a regulated market, according to Bradley Tusk
30Politician turned venture capitalist Bradley Tusk recently spoke at a TechCrunch Live event on how startups should approach regulation. Dibbs CEO and co-founder Evan Vandenberg joined Tusk in the conversation. The event is embedded below, and it's free to watch.
Throughout the talk, the two guests expressed their firm stance on the power of utilizing regulations to build trust and utility. Tusk admits he's known as the regulation guy -- and for a good reason, too. Before starting his VC firm, Tusk was instrumental in Uber and Bird's early days, helping the two companies bring their services to new markets in slash-and-burn style.
Evan and his team's attention to regulatory details caused Tusk Ventures to invest in the company's Series A. But, as Tusk puts it during the event, he seldom hears startup founders like Vandenberg and Dibbs' proactive approach to regulations.
