Founder Backgrounds: Soylent, PartyRound, and Getting Humbled
At 19:29 · chapter starts 16:30
Coogan's backstory is a through-line of obsessive skill acquisition: economics at Northeastern, the Y Combinator bug, founding Soylent as a meal-replacement shake deliberately named to provoke reactions, raising money, selling it, starting another company during COVID, then spending time at Founders Fund as an entrepreneur-in-residence. Hays's path is more turbulent: founding a skateboard company at 12, discovering podcast advertising as a college side hustle that became Branded Native, investing in 70+ startups, then building PartyRound — a Venmo-for-startup-investing product that launched in peak-ZIRP 2021. The timing could not have been worse. FTX collapsed the month PartyRound launched as a stablecoin bank. SVB failed months later, triggering bank-run conversations with customers whose average balance was $1M. The company was acqui-hired by Rowe in New York. Both founders, in other words, arrived at TBPN having been knocked around by the market — and that humility, they argue, is precisely what made their show's editorial voice unusually generous and credible.
