<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1902723/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Tom McLeod isn’t your typical founder or investor. He bootstrapped a SaaS to 100k users, built a League of Legends app used by millions, sold it to Tencent, and now backs businesses at the intersection of identity, community, and cashflow. Think: car clubs, not cloud infra. In this episode of Seed to Harvest, Tom breaks down: • The 3 founder archetypes he’s seen across cycles • Why he hires founders (even though they always leave) • What he learned going from bootstrapped to venture-backed • How he thinks about underwriting non-venture-scale returns It’s a fresh take for anyone rethinking capital models or scouting overlooked operator talent.Connect with Paige 🌱💜 Behind Genius Ventures blog - https://www.behindgeniusventures.com/ Personal Blog -  https://paigefinndoherty.com/ Twitter -  https://twitter.com/paigefinnn Connect with Tom 🌱💜 Email- Tom@saltwater.com  Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/tmcleod/?hl=en Twitter- https://x.com/tmcleod3?lang=en<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1902723/support">Support the show</a>
