seed to harvest: a children’s book for adults on venture capital

my intention with Seed to Harvest is to explain what VCs do from the perspective of an investor in plain language. my goal is to provide accessible information about venture capital in non-jargon to encourage a wider variety of people to get involved with venture. i’ve been intentional about collecting feedback from my community of investors, founders, and non-tech people (like my family 🙂 )

With the help of this amazing community, I was able to hire an illustrator – my 18 year old brother Owen Doherty. Read more about our story in the San Diego Union Tribune here. Here’s my interview with CBS Channel 8 discussing the making of the book.

The book is available now on amazon here, please feel free to leave a review:
