In this episode, I host Lee Edwards, a General Partner at Root Ventures in San Francisco. We discuss the political scene in San Francisco, the impact of AI on labor, Tesla, Waymo, the education system, and how we have traditionally adapted to disruptive technology. Lee invests in engineers who are starting companies that tackle the hard problems in software, such as developer tools and services, software infrastructure, applied AI and ML, and Computer Vision. In recent years, Lee has been a CTO at Teespring, a mechanical engineer at iRobot, a software engineer at Pivotal Labs, a Lead Engineer at SideTour (acquired by Groupon in 2013), and an engineering manager for GrouponLive. He graduated from Olin College of Engineering with a degree in Systems Engineering.
