Modest Conversations: Income Share Agreements

In late December Erik Torenberg and I sat down to talk about the future of human capital and the long history of Income Share Agreements. I am glad we delayed releasing this episode, because the last few months have only made the topic of ISAs more relevant.
Lambda School’s much-discussed January series B financing, and several other startups have brought the topic more and more directly into the light. You can be sure there will be many more companies working through ISAs in the coming years.
