from Ready, Set, Startup! - Strategies from Founders, Funders, and Beyond · host Brandon Reed

How do you spot, then evaluate, the breakthrough technologies of tomorrow? In today’s episode, I sit down with James Wang — a deep tech investor who helps unpack the truths behind venture capital, startup success, and the gritty realities of building frontier technology companies. From founding a startup with his wife to investing in AI, robotics, and synthetic biology, James shares hard-earned insights on what separates funded founders from the rest, why the best product doesn’t always win, and how momentum — not just money — makes or breaks a startup. Whether you’re pitching, investing, or just curious about how it all really works, this conversation offers valuable perspective from a thought-leader in the niche but fascinating world of deep tech investing. --- Episode Resources Subscribe to James’ Blog (https://weightythoughts.com) Get more info on Creative Ventures (https://creativeventures.vc)
