Dalton + Michael

"Dalton + Michael" is a long running video series with Dalton Caldwell and Michael Seibel talking through the decisions founders have to make: what to build, when to raise, who to hire, when to give up or change direction. They spent years at Y Combinator working with founders on exactly these questions. The dedicated Dalton + Michael show is now brought to you by Standard Capital.

What they talk about

Most episodes start from a question founders keep asking: how much to raise, what product-market fit really means, when a pivot is the right call, how to read an investor who won't give you a straight no. Dalton and Michael answer the way they would in office hours — plainly, and from having watched thousands of companies try it.
