Books I've Loved — Ann Miura-Ko | Brought
to you by Audible.
Note: This episode was recorded in November 2019.
Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it
is my job to sit down with world-class performers of all
different types—from startup founders and investors to chess
champions to Olympic athletes. This episode, however, is an
experiment and part of a shorter series I’m doing called “Books
I’ve Loved.” I’ve invited some amazing past guests,
close friends, and new faces to share their favorite books—the
books that have influenced them, changed them, and transformed
them for the better. I hope you pick up one or two
new mentors—in the form of books—from this new series and apply
the lessons in your own life.
Ann Miura-Ko (@annimaniac) has been called
“the most powerful woman in startups” by Forbes and is a lecturer
in entrepreneurship at Stanford. The child of a rocket scientist
at NASA, Ann is a Palo Alto native and has been steeped in
technology startups from when she was a teenager. Prior to
co-founding Floodgate, she worked at Charles River
Ventures and McKinsey and Company. Some of Ann’s
investments include Lyft, Ayasdi, Xamarin, Refinery29, JoyRun,
TaskRabbit, and Modcloth.
Given the success of her investments she was on the 2017
Midas List of top 100 venture capitalists. Ann is known for her
debate skills (she placed first in the National Tournament of
Champions and second in the State of California in high school)
and was part of a five-person team at Yale that competed in
the Robocup Competition in Paris, France. She has a
BSEE from Yale and a PhD from Stanford in math modeling of
computer security. She lives with her husband, three kids, and
one spoiled dog. Her interests are piano, robots, and gastronomy.
