“The bigger risk I face isn’t that you’re going to fail and we’re going to get rid of you. It’s that you get tired and you fall out of love.” - @peterfenton Introducing Real Time, a new podcast from ClickHouse. In our first episode, Aaron Katz (@ceo_clickhouse) sits down with Benchmark's Peter Fenton on backing founders, building open-source businesses, and the AI supercycle. A few highlights: - You can't fake open-source adoption. But how do you turn it into a business? Peter on why ClickHouse's cloud aligned value creation with value capture. - On the scale of the AI opportunity: “In 10 years, we’ll look back and dream about being here.” His advice to founders: stay curious, take risks, and make failure cheap. - Benchmark's new playbook: four to six big, decade-long bets on generational founders. - Peter flew Aaron to Big Sur himself and landed the helicopter on the roof of a house. Aaron took an Uber home.
