This week, Natasha spoke to Kristen Anderson, the co-founder and CEO of Catch, an app to provide payroll benefits for people who are self employed, that recently announced it would be shutting down.

Here's what we got into:

• Venture capital's role in how a founder builds
• Making the difficult decision to shut down, and why Catch chose to do so publicly
• We end with Anderson's return to building, in fintech, despite what her Twitter followers wish. Seems like being close to peak pessimism in fintech is a good thing for forever builders.
