Seed to Harvest

🎙️ Seed to Harvest | Stories from Technical Storytellers

Welcome to Seed to Harvest, the podcast by Behind Genius Ventures.

We talk to early-stage founders, operators, and investors—people building with code and conviction. Each episode is a chapter in their story: from the messy beginnings to the quiet pivots, from planting ideas to growing companies that matter.

Expect:
🌱 Honest conversations on the earliest chapters of company-building
🧠 Tactical insights from technical minds with narrative soul
✨ Reflections on resilience, rituals, and reinventing what’s possible

This podcast is for the builders who think in frameworks and metaphors. The ones who whiteboard in wild places. The ones writing their own mythologies—one commit, pitch, or poem at a time.

From spark to story.
From seed to harvest. 🌾
