🎙️ Seed to Harvest | Stories from Technical Storytellers

Welcome to Seed to Harvest, the podcast by Behind Genius Ventures.

We talk to early-stage founders, operators, and investors—people building with code and conviction. Each episode is a chapter in their story: from the messy beginnings to the quiet pivots, from planting ideas to growing companies that matter.

Expect:
🌱 Honest conversations on the earliest chapters of company-building
🧠 Tactical insights from technical minds with narrative soul
✨ Reflections on resilience, rituals, and reinventing what’s possible

This podcast is for the builders who think in frameworks and metaphors. The ones who whiteboard in wild places. The ones writing their own mythologies—one commit, pitch, or poem at a time.

From spark to story.
From seed to harvest. 🌾

    In this episode, James Evans, co-founder of Command AI (acq by Amplitude), shares his entrepreneurial journey- from childhood ambitions to launching a startup in college and scaling it through YC. He talks about turning a side project into a venture-backed company, navigating the startup grind, and eventually getting acquired by Amplitude. James breaks down the realities of startup life, including hiring, sales vs. product-led growth, and the psychological weight of being a founder. He also walks through the acquisition process, post-acquisition integration, and how he’s continuing to grow in a new role. This episode is packed with candid insight into early-stage building, decision-making, and what comes after the “win.”

    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.

    Tom McLeod isn’t your typical founder or investor.
    He bootstrapped a SaaS to 100k users, built a League of Legends app used by millions, sold it to Tencent, and now backs businesses at the intersection of identity, community, and cashflow. Think: car clubs, not cloud infra.
    In this episode of Seed to Harvest, Tom breaks down:
    • The 3 founder archetypes he’s seen across cycles
    • Why he hires founders (even though they always leave)
    • What he learned going from bootstrapped to venture-backed
    • How he thinks about underwriting non-venture-scale returns
    It’s a fresh take for anyone rethinking capital models or scouting overlooked operator talent.
