Seed to Harvest Lessons I Learned Writing and Self-Publishing a Children's Book About VC | Ep 94
Hi everyone! In this episode, I’m doing something a little different — walking you through the three phases of self-publishing my first book, Seed to Harvest, a children’s book about venture capital. I’ll share the full behind-the-scenes: how I came up with the idea, what the writing and publishing process looked like, how much money I made (real numbers!), and how this book helped launch Behind Genius Ventures.
In this episode, I cover:
- How to validate book ideas like a startup
- What it actually costs to publish a book (and how I crowdfunded it)
- How writing Seed to Harvest helped me raise a $5M venture fund
- How being online (especially on Twitter) played a major role in all of this
- What I’d do differently next time
Whether you’re curious about writing a book, starting a fund, or just love a good build-in-public story, I hope this helps you take the leap on your own creative project.
