Seed to Harvest is a new 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.

In our fourth episode, I speak with Mac Conwell. Mac Conwell is the founding partner of RareBreed Ventures, a former entrepreneur, Kaufmann fellow and enthusiastic drag racer. On this episode, we focus on navigating fundraising, advice for aspiring VCs, and building in public. Mentioned: 506c, Kauffman Fellowship, building a twitter audience.

RareBreed Ventures is a Pre-seed Fund that is investing in exceptional founders outside of the large tech eco-systems earlier than everyone else. They target a check size of 250K. With early meaningful cash upfront, wraparound services to increase capacity, and institutional knowledge from the RareBreed team they can accelerate a company's growth at the earliest stages and shrink the time it takes them to go from Pre-seed to Series A.
