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.

On our eleventh episode, I speak with Halle Kaplan-Allen about Twitter, venture operations, being outside Silicon Valley, the verticalization of creators, our thoughts on DAOs, venture ecosystem operations and generally getting into the weeds of venture. Halle is currently leading growth and marketing at Sydecar, a private investing platform, and was previously at AngelList. She runs arguably one of the best-kept secrets in venture, the Automatter newsletter. We first met on Twitter in 2020, and immediately hit it off.
