On this week’s Dead Cat, Tom Dotan and I reflect on this year’s SXSW. We take stock of the Austin tech scene and ponder what storylines emerged from the mega conference.
At the 19:24 mark, VC Jeopardy starts. You can listen in as I host four venture capitalists in a fierce battle of startup-world trivia.
Our contestants were Deena Shakir at Lux Capital, Charles Hudson at Precursor Ventures, Julian Eison at Next Ventures, and Steve Brotman at Alpha Partners.
You can also play along yourself:

Thanks to my dear friends, Max Child and James Wilsterman at Volley for hosting the SXSW event. Wilsterman wrote the Jeopardy questions with some light oversight from yours truly. Volley is a San Francisco-based startup that creates voice-controlled games. The company just announced a partnership with Sony Pictures Television to produce a Jeopardy! game for Amazon’s Alexa and for Google smart devices.
Great to see everyone who made it out to the event. Let’s do it again next year!

Welcome to work on Sally, there are back hope at our respective,
00:00:15
homes for Southwest, yes, thank you to everyone who showed up at
00:00:20
the vale event, on Rainey Street.
00:00:22
What was the name of the bar? That it was at Parlor Room, The
00:00:25
Parlor Room. Thanks everyone who showed up at
00:00:27
the Parlor Room, spun the big wheel.
00:00:30
Got free drinks and listen to us interview.
00:00:33
Jack Jack was great. I thought by the way yeah he's
00:00:35
awesome. I had a lot of fun with him.
00:00:37
It's it was an eye-opening live interview experience for me.
00:00:41
I mean we sort of Which we had to maintain sort of the same
00:00:48
style that we would have on this podcast to actually produce
00:00:52
something for listeners while dealing with an audience that
00:00:55
was mostly there for free drinks, right?
00:01:00
Well, I thought the valuable advice that Jack gave us at the
00:01:02
beginning was, let's just, let's just do this for us.
00:01:05
Let's just, let's just have a conversation.
00:01:07
And, you know, I would say they were a good number of people
00:01:10
that were paying attention. I think actually, you got much
00:01:12
more engagement in the Jeopardy. Yeah.
00:01:14
I mean, Jeopardy was more crowd interactive and I mean well
00:01:17
it'll be interesting to see how that plays is an audio product.
00:01:21
Well, I hope good. Yeah, what he wanted to do, we
00:01:24
partying it up. It's after this.
00:01:26
Yeah, it was fun to watch. So if you don't like the episode
00:01:28
as a podcast, I can assure you that watching it.
00:01:31
There is a lot of like, buzzer sort of obsession.
00:01:34
I mean, I remember I used to play, you know, Halo with
00:01:37
friends right back in the day and I had this friend who had
00:01:40
always blame on like, getting killed on the controller, which,
00:01:43
of course, Surfaces standard, you know, Xbox controller,
00:01:47
right? So I should have been able to
00:01:48
predict that, you know, without sort of Premium like quiz Bowl
00:01:52
level buzzers. We were going to get all sorts
00:01:55
of blame it on the buzzer challenges.
00:01:58
When I mean, they were randomly assigned and you know which ones
00:02:03
were like Jeopardy or gameshow approved buzzards, right?
00:02:06
This wasn't like you know a converted like Staples that was
00:02:09
easy button that people fucking right.
00:02:11
I mean they were they lit up. I mean they were I'm Bluetooth.
00:02:15
I do think a lot of the game was just sort of like watching my
00:02:18
finger clear, which one of the contest's neutral third party on
00:02:21
this. I thought that the buzzers
00:02:23
worked fine when only one person is the complainer of it.
00:02:26
I think that is usually indication that the game is not
00:02:30
cheer. Yeah.
00:02:31
Yeah. And there was one to watch.
00:02:32
I mean I liked all the contestants but I didn't feel
00:02:35
like I was being able but you know, a little bit the fact that
00:02:39
I got highly competitive at times and yes that speaks to the
00:02:43
VC mind. Set right, like these weren't
00:02:46
randomly selected, people that were playing this game.
00:02:48
Like these are highly competitive type a right, you
00:02:51
know? This is this is about deal flow,
00:02:53
right? That was fun.
00:02:55
Anyway, you listen and enjoy, you'd never been to South by,
00:03:00
right? Never.
00:03:01
I've been to Austin before. That's the closest I can claim
00:03:03
while you're abroad. Takeaways, well, my brought
00:03:06
takeaway, was everyone telling me that this year was not
00:03:08
normal. That this was a typical that
00:03:10
like it was incredibly subdued. And I don't I mean, I you know,
00:03:15
there were people in the streets, wearing lanyards there
00:03:17
were parties that were packed Beyond Comfort, to me.
00:03:20
Personally, the panel's panels are never great.
00:03:25
Like I'm I think like remote panels and like, the Zoom of
00:03:30
vacation of all conferences has kind of destroyed International
00:03:34
as like an exciting. God yeah.
00:03:37
Well look, I just think that we're in a time where if you
00:03:40
want to hear someone being interviewed.
00:03:41
There's an unlimited number of podcasts where they can talk
00:03:44
about. I do think podcasts are better.
00:03:45
I mean I went to a couple panels.
00:03:47
Yeah, I went to I mean, I moderated one with some sub
00:03:51
stackers, which I mean I enjoyed moderating.
00:03:53
It there was sort of just the question of was the audience
00:03:57
there to learn about like how to build a sub stack or were they
00:04:00
really? They're one of the sub saker's
00:04:03
was Charlotte climber who's this sort of Well known trans
00:04:07
activist with a huge Twitter following.
00:04:09
I suspect, a lot of people were there to see her, and so there's
00:04:12
a degree to which like maybe the audience would have been
00:04:15
happier. If we talked, you know, politics
00:04:17
whole time. You know, there is just sort of
00:04:19
like, you have this sort of mash up.
00:04:20
But anyway, that was fun. I saw Jim vandehei speak on sort
00:04:25
of a media panel with the president of vocs and Charles
00:04:29
Hudson. Oh, that was one.
00:04:31
Yeah, I did see, I didn't go to it, but I saw that was on the,
00:04:33
that was, that was interesting. But yeah, I mean, I saw Neil
00:04:37
Stevenson the author of snow crash speak.
00:04:41
I thought that was a super frustrating panel, his new
00:04:44
books, all about global warming. So it was just him in this
00:04:48
moderator, who clearly knew something.
00:04:50
About I think a media person ruin about global warming and
00:04:54
they just like, they didn't talk about the metaverse at, until
00:04:57
the very end and even then it was sort of like, oh, we need to
00:05:00
do it. But like that's, that was sort
00:05:02
of like the thief, I feel like. And if whether you believe in
00:05:06
them, Not and if T's metaverse, was sort of like the big
00:05:09
question mark hanging over South by.
00:05:11
So it was absurd to me that they were going to, he was sort of
00:05:13
the seminal author on the thing that Facebook has now, you know,
00:05:17
renamed his company over and there were just gonna like make
00:05:20
us listen to this talk on, like an author fiction author, sort
00:05:25
of giving his opinions about what we're going to have to do
00:05:28
to solve the climate moderated. That I don't forget the guys, I
00:05:32
never knew the guys because it's to me.
00:05:34
If I were moderating that the only thing I would want going
00:05:37
into or coming out of it is for the headline to be author of
00:05:42
snow. Crash.
00:05:42
You know who invented the term that suck used to rename.
00:05:45
The company says Mark Zuckerberg is perverting my vision of the
00:05:49
metaverse or Mark, Zuckerberg gets it all wrong, right?
00:05:51
That's all you want out of who's like the the moderator do.
00:05:54
Even want news coverage out of. It was like the most bizarre and
00:05:59
they sort of were like, well people you know, all the
00:06:01
questions are about metaverse but we want to talk about the
00:06:04
environment but like South by just branded it around Neal
00:06:08
Stephenson. They weren't like come listen to
00:06:10
a boring talk about some problem.
00:06:12
You already know that we should solve, but it's hard to get
00:06:15
people enthusiastic about because it's sort of boring, you
00:06:18
know. I just, yeah, I it was the
00:06:20
strangest. I mean, you know not Neal
00:06:23
Stephenson did sort of, you know, So he sort of gave the
00:06:26
classic, like, do you really want your metaverse from a
00:06:29
company that monetized is based on advertising and like, beware
00:06:33
of? That's okay, that's like edging
00:06:35
on. What would be interesting?
00:06:36
He called it a buzz buzz word or whatever, but I do think he
00:06:40
could have dug into it. A little.
00:06:41
Yeah, you got a problem because that's the only outcome you want
00:06:44
from that thing. I try to think what I even went
00:06:46
to. I saw, I saw Marty Walsh, our
00:06:49
labor secretary talk. Oh yeah, how is that not great?
00:06:53
I mean, Is it about the gig economy or that was the reason I
00:06:57
went. It came up very briefly and he
00:07:00
really skirted the issue that he made headlines about last year.
00:07:04
When he kind of intimated that he thought that gig workers for
00:07:08
companies like uber and Lyft and doordash were being
00:07:10
misclassified and then like that famously at the time, cause
00:07:13
their stocks to crash because they, you know, investors assume
00:07:17
that the government was going to do something about that.
00:07:19
Turns out they were wrong, but yeah, he completely skirted the
00:07:22
issue. This time I gave was brought up
00:07:24
and he Was just like, well, look, I think there are some
00:07:26
misclassifications heavy Boston accent, really wanted him to
00:07:30
say, like microporous owes the whole time that was as much as I
00:07:34
was interested, but I chatted with his press secretary after
00:07:38
the event and they seem up for an interview so might be able to
00:07:41
book him for dead cat. That would be we can we can
00:07:43
press them on that. Yeah.
00:07:44
Because all our listeners are obsessed with hearing from from
00:07:48
Marty labor secretary who. Yeah, it was.
00:07:50
Most often people who worked as she used to be the mayor of
00:07:53
Boston and it was mostly I don't know you, I mean, would be a big
00:07:56
catch, so I guess who my to scoff at it, but I'm like
00:07:59
interview. But that's it never mind.
00:08:00
I'll just save him for Insider, you just passed them already
00:08:02
well, yeah, it's not be. I always going to be a anyway.
00:08:05
Yeah, I listen to Bill girly. Who had sort of a presentation?
00:08:08
I mean, on the metaverse, he was, he was also pretty
00:08:11
skeptical skeptical of us living in a sort of, an avatar world to
00:08:16
me. A lot of the experience of South
00:08:18
by is reporter is chasing. Like what is the story of South
00:08:22
by? And obviously the answer that it
00:08:24
was Lame. And a lot of people weren't
00:08:26
there, and it was sort of, like, post covid shell of itself is
00:08:30
not, you're not a very good reporter.
00:08:33
If you can't sell something a little bit more exciting than
00:08:35
that, that's not a great story, right?
00:08:37
It's a bad story. So then some people want to say,
00:08:39
oh is about like n FTS and the metaverse and I honestly think
00:08:44
it was a very Hollow version, it was more like companies wanting
00:08:47
to use the nft S and the metaverse to get coverage
00:08:51
without sort of like hardcore crypto people.
00:08:54
We being there because they have their own events.
00:08:57
Write to me, the through line of South by, and this is the most
00:09:01
self-absorbed but it was about the Creator.
00:09:03
Could that substrate? I mean, yeah, it's about sort of
00:09:07
girlies talk was about musicians, cutting out record
00:09:09
labels and sort of going on their own Jack Conte.
00:09:14
You know, patreon talking about sort of creators podcasters,
00:09:17
musicians, making money on their own.
00:09:19
You know, I'm out there talking about sort of sub sax making it
00:09:23
on their own. I do think It is sort of this,
00:09:25
the rise of sort of the individual entrepreneur.
00:09:29
You know, we had, you know, Taylor lorenz's whole thing
00:09:32
about Brands was a major theme of our Jack Conte think like to
00:09:37
me, I actually it's self-indulgent.
00:09:40
It's a, but I do think there's, you know, this this crater thing
00:09:43
is like, you know, a big deal, and we're seeing more
00:09:46
businesses, sort of sort of build around it.
00:09:49
You think I'm totally like, I don't know, high on my own
00:09:52
Supply here. Yeah, obviously, SLI.
00:09:55
But I'm trying to think that's just sort of a cop-out answer to
00:09:58
like what the killer app was was I kill.
00:10:01
Nobody can be the killer app or breakout it's just sort of like
00:10:03
it's sort of like you know Time Magazine Paul.
00:10:06
You, you know, Vale games was the breakout, right, right.
00:10:09
Yeah. Max.
00:10:10
The be mad that I chuckled at. That was said, very sincerely,
00:10:13
we co-hosted the event with Vale games.
00:10:16
Yeah, I reassured in the last episode but they, you know, they
00:10:20
realist Theory just announced a big partnership with Jeopardy
00:10:23
and we were fortunate. And Alexa games company voice
00:10:27
games. I went to the Friends with
00:10:31
Benefits party, which was a buzzy nft or Dow.
00:10:35
Sorry, Dow styled multiple night party.
00:10:40
But you know, kind of endless greek-style, bacchanal.
00:10:43
And I thought it was pretty lightly attended.
00:10:46
Yeah. So I may be that just speaks
00:10:48
largely to the mood at South by Southwest.
00:10:51
I don't know. I mean like the easy answer
00:10:53
would have been like this was the The crypto and web three,
00:10:56
whatever you want to call it, broke out, which is easy because
00:11:00
it's been off for two years and in this time we've seen, you
00:11:04
know, the enthusiasm and hype. And you know, what artificiality
00:11:08
of It kind of take off. Although we was funny that like
00:11:12
nft is as a market crashed like a, we are so before.
00:11:16
So I don't know if that took any of the air out of the enthusiasm
00:11:20
there but it cracked me up. Honestly, I should have gone to
00:11:22
up front because all the VCS were They're right.
00:11:25
And then, I think Miami Tech week, you know, with the
00:11:28
founders fund people pushing it could be interesting.
00:11:32
You know, there's always this game of like the Insiders, I
00:11:35
mean it used to be the Insiders would go to South by and be
00:11:38
like, oh, I don't go in the badge events, you know, we have
00:11:40
our own events, right? And stick up their nose that
00:11:43
way. Now they're just sort of, like,
00:11:44
going to other videos that go to it at all.
00:11:47
I mean, my friend, you know, I have friends, you know, these
00:11:49
cofounders of the vale company who are, you know, big fans of
00:11:53
South by. So I do think there's just You
00:11:55
know, it is fun there's music but I don't know wasn't his best
00:11:59
year. There was also the music thing I
00:12:01
think takes off also after the tech portion of it.
00:12:04
So we don't really stick around for the music part.
00:12:07
One of your friends, there was also kind of not subtly critical
00:12:11
of these Austin, Texas e'en just just sort of seeing it as
00:12:15
second-tier that was if I had spent more time kind of focusing
00:12:19
on the what the story was I probably would have done that.
00:12:22
As in like, you know, does Austin have a real seeing
00:12:24
because, you know, the last two years there have been this
00:12:27
endless drumbeat of stories about San Francisco or Silicon
00:12:30
Valley being over and everyone scrambling to find whatever the
00:12:34
next scene was right. And you know, I met a bunch of
00:12:38
austin-based and like directed VC funds, which I don't know
00:12:43
what to say about that. Seems like a strange thesis, I'm
00:12:46
definitely, you know, polish on the Silicon Valley, VCS running
00:12:50
the table wherever they go. I mean, that's sort of why Miami
00:12:53
has a little bit more. Sex appeal, I think then
00:12:56
awesome, besides the quality of life issues.
00:12:58
It's just like, oh, you're getting the real VCS.
00:13:00
I mean, I got in early to South by and went to Joe Lawns, Dale's
00:13:04
house and saw him and none of those people are going to South
00:13:08
Park but there was a little bit more of the Austin Texas een.
00:13:11
It does feel like you know Lonsdale the co-founder of
00:13:14
palantir is definitely tell me about lunch.
00:13:16
Dale's House. A new Hub you know big house.
00:13:21
Sort of like I don't know. Far from Austin downtown.
00:13:24
Down. I didn't go inside.
00:13:26
I was mostly, I mean, it was a nice event, definitely.
00:13:29
I mean, I was chatting, I'm trying to be careful because I
00:13:33
mean I don't think the whole event was off the Record, but I
00:13:35
certainly said off the Record to a billion.
00:13:37
People write a nice long conversation with someone from
00:13:41
Cicero law and steals like Think Tank, I mean there was
00:13:44
definitely sort of a anti, you know, cancel culture.
00:13:48
Sort of crowd around tables. Yeah.
00:13:51
Obviously, which I, which I'm interested to report out.
00:13:54
I still Quite get Cicero, but it's interesting, you know,
00:13:59
there was a lot of energy around, like, I think defense
00:14:03
Tech and I'm literally somebody there was like, trying to get
00:14:06
Lonsdale to invest in some defense tech company.
00:14:10
But yeah, it didn't. I mean, I mean, Austin just a
00:14:12
smaller smaller Tech scene, but I do think, you know, the money,
00:14:17
the money will go where the the founders of point is that
00:14:19
there's momentum behind it that it's growing.
00:14:22
I just I find the funniest thing we We should talk about this
00:14:25
more in a different episode. We're taking time away from
00:14:28
Jeopardy here, but like the idea of there needing to be a scene
00:14:33
that it's not just about like the destruction and dissolution
00:14:36
of Silicon Valley as like the unipolar Hub of Technology, but
00:14:42
that it's like, oh no. Now the new thing is austere,
00:14:45
the new thing is Miami's, I thought the point of it is that
00:14:47
there doesn't need to be a thing is that it's fully distributed,
00:14:50
the like the actual benefits of a scene we've decided are
00:14:53
overrated. Once you can like distribute
00:14:55
your Workforce, that people can connect remotely that, there
00:14:58
doesn't need to be geographical magnets that draw people into
00:15:03
it. Yes.
00:15:03
I mean, life is full of chasing in-groups and out-groups, and, I
00:15:08
mean, you want sort of, you know, that Silicon Valley used
00:15:13
to work on being small enough that it was like, you sort of
00:15:16
knew a lot of the players. And so that there were
00:15:20
advantages to that because you sort of got to know people's
00:15:23
reputations or Sure like a whisper Network and stuff
00:15:27
they're going to be new pockets. Yeah but I guess pockets is the
00:15:31
operative term right? Like there's no there's no
00:15:34
megalopolis around Tech that is being constructed and Austin I
00:15:37
haven't been to Miami so I don't know like you know the boosters
00:15:40
there. What they claim is currently
00:15:42
existing? I just think it's, I mean, let's
00:15:44
like take out the geography and politics of those two cities,
00:15:48
just the need for any one of them to exist as like the next
00:15:51
San Francisco. Just seems like it's counter to
00:15:54
what they The are talking about here which is that there is no
00:15:58
like we're post geography with these specific cities, which New
00:16:03
York is much more on right? New York.
00:16:06
It's just a big city, you do lots of things, but we're not
00:16:09
just like stump. There's no amount of tech
00:16:11
density that we could reach. We're just going to stumble into
00:16:14
everybody tech people all the time like in San Francisco you
00:16:17
could theoretically an Austin, right?
00:16:19
Like it's not that right? That's what I'm saying?
00:16:20
I'm saying they could take over that fucking City if they wanted
00:16:23
to but in my likely Limited research on it and talking to
00:16:26
really just your friend. It seems underwhelming.
00:16:29
Oh, and the VCS, I don't know, I didn't come away with it
00:16:32
thinking that like, a great shift has occurred, but they can
00:16:35
tell me, oh, don't lose your don't lose your lanyard, by the
00:16:38
way, that's my tip to those coming in the future.
00:16:41
It's apparently not done. Like there was like a real Buzz
00:16:44
about it in the convention hall when I went in there and told
00:16:47
him, I lost my lanyard, no one really knew what to do.
00:16:49
I had to pull a lot of press. I'm a press person strings to
00:16:53
get a new land. Printed.
00:16:55
So I don't know for security reasons, why that's the case, if
00:16:58
there's like a secondary market for Lanyards.
00:17:01
But yeah, to those who may be going next year, hold that
00:17:05
fucking thing tight because they do not take kindly to people who
00:17:09
leave their lanyards at any of three potential bars in Austin.
00:17:13
All right, well we're going to keep it short, so you can listen
00:17:16
to VC, Jeopardy, which I think is a riot.
00:17:20
My friend James, will Sturman, who co-founded Vale rode?
00:17:23
The question, And I just gave them sort of couple passes so
00:17:27
don't give me too much credit. Curious, if we have any
00:17:30
listeners for like technically that answer is oh I would love
00:17:34
that. I would love, I would love
00:17:36
people to, I really like you, put it out to a big enough
00:17:38
audience. Yes, some challenges and ideas
00:17:41
are open. If you think there were mistakes
00:17:42
in the questions, I love that. I did.
00:17:44
Make a sort of like hedge. Our final, Jeopardy.
00:17:46
Question a little bit so nobody could I was literally like
00:17:50
fact-checking. I can't talk about it now
00:17:52
because I don't want to spoil it but I was literally like Back
00:17:54
checking it with the actual VC, firms in clay and some of them
00:18:01
didn't have a totally clear answer on what I was trying to
00:18:04
figure out. So anyway but yeah, I think it's
00:18:06
before and after category to that was fun.
00:18:08
The before and after category, is that's in the first set at
00:18:12
worth worth listening at least to that because that was a very
00:18:16
smartly constructed in category. Anyway, cool.
00:18:20
Yeah, cool. It was fun to see you in person.
00:18:22
I did love the sort of Getting to, I feel like you get
00:18:26
something out of somebody like a jack Conte, just talking to them
00:18:30
in person. I do miss miss.
00:18:33
The IRL interview. Let's put it like this.
00:18:35
We've done to in-person episodes of the podcast.
00:18:38
One was a total fucking disaster and the other one was at South
00:18:42
by Southwest when I was in New York and we interviewed the
00:18:45
dispo CEO. Well, that wasn't that same, but
00:18:47
it wasn't all in person that was like Like Clockwork Orange
00:18:51
level. It's like just that was the
00:18:53
worst audio up. So I'd like that was.
00:18:56
Who are we? Interviewing the dispo CEO?
00:18:59
Oh yeah, he was a good sport. He was fine about it.
00:19:02
I was just like I was like a torturous like audio speculation
00:19:07
because we could hear Tom and I were in the same room.
00:19:09
We could hear each other through the speaker's.
00:19:12
It was? It was really bad.
00:19:14
It's a medical experiment. Cool.
00:19:16

00:20:34
classic Jeopardy style where they're, you know, not give me a
