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. 🌾

Today I'm going to talk about our portfolio at Behind Genius Ventures and some of the industry trends in 2023 and beyond. I am one of the youngest fund managers in the world. I founded Behind Genius Ventures in 2021. Our debut fund was $5 million and we invest in pre-seed and seed stage companies building within the future of work and the future of play. The topics we will be talking about today are companies building within generative ai, creators as a business, the loneliness epidemic, the conscious consumer, and the democratization of access.

Seed to Harvest is a podcast focused on stories & tactics from a diverse array of investors, founders, and creators, hosted by Paige Finn Doherty, a founding partner at Behind Genius Ventures and author of Seed to Harvest, an illustrated children's book for adults.
