Welcome To Warm Intro

Hey! This is Chai. I'm a founder in Silicon Valley and I've spent a third of my life running my company. In all those years, I found that the only cure for the pain of building something big is talking to others who are doing the same thing. I've been lucky to have a lot of these conversations and I wanted to find a way to bring them to more builders. That's how we came up with Warm Intro. These are honest conversations with interesting people who are building big things — from entrepreneurs to artists, politicians and chefs. As you listen, I hope you'll see how these incredible folks think. But I also hope you'll feel a little more seen yourself — less alone as you're out building.Thank you for listening,ChaiWarm IntroA conversation, not an interview.
