This week we've got a bonus episode for you, recorded while Amy was off at the Slush startup conference in Helsinki. It's a conversation with veteran tech investor and Index Ventures partner Danny Rimer, who's sat on the boards of household name companies like Dropbox, Etsy, Farfetch and Discord. He also led Index's early investment into design software product Figma, which got acquired by Adobe this year for a cool $20bn.

In this episode Danny and Amy discuss layoffs, pay rises, crypto and that Figma deal, plus much more.
