BEHIND THEVC DESK

A Podcast by Lumen Partners

Our conversation platform. Each episode invites a venture investor to sit down and tell their story — not the fund story, the human one.

How they got here. The experiences that shaped their judgment. The moments of doubt, the early bets, the lessons that only come with time.

Who were you before you wrote your first check? What broke your conviction — and what rebuilt it? What would you tell yourself at the beginning?

This isn't about strategy or portfolio highlights. It's about the person behind the investment thesis — told honestly, over the long arc of a career.
