Charles Hudson of Precursor Ventures joins us to illuminate everything Pre-Seed -- not just what it is and how founders/companies should navigate it, but also and more deeply:
- How he came into this corner of the venture world - How he started Precursor as a solo GP and raised his first/subsequent funds, and what that journey was like - How he manages the firm, its overall strategy, and especially portfolio construction within this relatively new asset class (spoiler: it's different!)
Note: we recorded this episode in the days right before it became clear that the coronavirus was going to become a major global crisis. While the world has obviously changed since, nothing in this episode is fundamentally different and -- if anything -- Pre-Seed rounds are going to be more relevant for entrepreneurs and investors going forward as valuations and check-sizes contract. We hope you enjoy and find the discussion as useful and illuminating as we did!
