Nick Weaver is the Founder & CEO @ Eero. The company that makes your wifi hyper fast, super simple and brilliantly efficient. Prior to founding Eero, Nick was himself a VC at Menlo Ventures where he worked with companies like Uber, Betterment, Periscope and Dropcam. Before becoming a VC, Nick co-founded StartX, the community for the best Stanford entrepreneurs providing them with the required resources to build the next generation of leading companies.

2.) How can founders identify nascent and attractive markets that are ripe for disruption?

3.) How did Nick approach the pricing mechanism with Eero? Why do hardware startups need to have a greater margin than software startups?
