Chris Kantrowitz and I turn venture fundraising inside out: interview the VCs, show them who you really are, quit nickel-and-diming small funds on carry, and back strange ideas before consensus catches up.

Chris Kantrowitz and I get into Quorum Earth’s fungus-based plan to save bees from Varroa mites, then follow the science, regulation, and scrappy manufacturing behind a biopesticide company whose KPI is death.
