Our latest episode is out, featuring @wolfejosh! "Shrinking the Gap Between Sci-Fi and Sci-Fact" Josh Wolfe is a Co-Founder of Lux Capital, where he funds the kinds of ventures that change everything: think gene-edited pig organs and technology that lets you “record” smells. His approach? Relentless curiosity. He reads dozens of newspapers daily to identify patterns, always staying a few steps ahead. In this episode of The Generalist, Josh shares how his firm backs companies that aren't just chasing where the world is going but actively creating where it needs to go.

Kirsten Green is one of the most thoughtful, rigorous investors I've ever met. I've loved learning from her through The Generalist's "Letters to a Young Investor" series. This edition is another classic, covering how Kirsten has built Forerunner from a solo-capitalist shop into a venture force. If you're interested in hearing how Kirsten approaches culture building, hiring, fund strategy, and more, jump in: https://thegeneralist.substack.com/p/kirsten-green-3

I spent 9+ months interviewing 50 VCs, and turning their insights into a 138,000-word guide on how to succeed as a venture investor. That’s the equivalent of a 571-page book! Today, we’re sharing the full collection of pieces, along with a “Cheat Sheet” summarizing the main lessons. If you’re a VC that wants to hone your craft, an operator that wants to level up your angel investing, or a founder that needs to understand how the other side of the table thinks, my hope is that you’ll find this to be an invaluable resource.

"When the typical economist tells me about his latest research, my standard reaction is, 'Eh, maybe.' Then I forget about it. When Robin Hanson tells me about his latest research, my standard reaction is, 'No way! Impossible!' Then I think about it for years." In our latest piece, I interview economist and polymath Robin Hanson. Robin shared his thoughts on terraforming Mars, cultural drift, fertility decline, and civilization's trajectory.

Thought I'd try out sharing a Generalist piece on FC. This was an interview with Ho Nam, one of the world's best venture investors. What I love about Ho is that he's a purist -- he plays the game with the long term in mind and isn't interesting in chasing fads. https://thegeneralist.substack.com/p/ho-nam-1

Update for the skulk: we've removed the Discord link from the website (for now), re-connected OS to correct Discord server, removed Discord link from Notion wiki, removed Discord link from X, and done a sweep through of other project links. Big thank you to @semui.eth @chriscocreated and @cassie for flagging so fast
