I sat down with Charles Hudson, Founder and Managing Partner of Precursor Ventures, one of the most respected early-stage funds in venture capital. Charles has built Precursor on a set of unorthodox ideas, from how he sources founders to how he supports them, and it’s worked.

In this episode, we explored why going against the grain has been central to his success, the philosophy behind Precursor’s early bets, and how he evaluates founders at the earliest stages. We also got into what’s changing and what’s not in today’s VC landscape.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to back founders before the rest of the world sees it, this one’s for you.
