Scenting the Future: Technology and Emotional Connection

Josh Wolfe is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Lux Capital, a $4 billion venture capital firm that invests in solutions to the most vexing puzzles of our time. Josh described his background and Lux’s approach back in 2018 on the show and that conversation is replayed in the feed. This time around, we dive into Josh’s cautious perspective on the venture landscape and how it impacts Lux’s investment process. We then turn to updates on companies we last discussed and a handful of “directional arrows of progress,” including smell, deception and detection, the tech of science, infrastructure for the metaverse, crypto, elemental power, space, and Africa.
