Live from San Francisco, we sit down with Tim Draper, the venture capitalist who wrote early checks into Tesla, SpaceX, Skype, Coinbase, Twitch and more than 20 unicorns. He was the first investor to say yes to Robinhood after its founders heard 25 no's, he bet on Bitcoin when almost nobody knew what it was, and he holds a Guinness World Record for hearing 52 startup pitches in 52 minutes while sitting in a cold plunge.

Tim reveals the one question he asks every founder before writing a check, why he kept betting on SpaceX after watching its rockets blow up three times, and what happened when a self-driving car he was testing swerved into oncoming traffic. Plus how he lost his first Bitcoin in the Mt. Gox collapse, the condition he put on Robinhood's founders before investing, the industries he says AI will disrupt next, and his one piece of advice for building the next billion-dollar business.
