The Connected Startup

Every startup is born to solve a problem. The hard part is everything that breaks on the way there. The Connected Startup is a monthly podcast about those roadblocks, and the founders who discovered a graph was the way through. Each episode traces one company's path from the wall they hit to what they could finally build once their data matched the shape of the problem. We ask every guest the same question: describe the moment you realized a graph was the right tool.
