And now for this week’s prescription:


On this week’s dose, we have Larsen Jensen, former Olympic swimmer, Navy Seal, and current founder and General Partner at Harpoon Ventures.


Larsen has always surrounded himself with some of the highest performers and most successful people, whether in the water next to the likes of Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, or out in the battlefield serving our country.


It was only after a friend mentioned vc as a potentially exciting career path that Larsen realized he could leverage his experiences, especially regarding the government’s growing partnership with the private sector in investing in new technology. In the interview, you will hear more about how he started Harpoon Ventures, some notable portfolio companies, as well as his outlook on the next few years in venture capital.


We close out this week’s dose with a short discussion on the future of AI, some awesome advice to the Pillgrims, and some great perspective from Larsen reflecting on his experience getting an MBA at Stanford.


It was a pleasure hosting Larsen on this week’s dose, and we’re excited to share our conversation with you all.
