Behind Genius Ventures is founded and led by Gen Z investors who position themselves as "firm builders" rather than just "fund managers," giving founders true age peers on the cap table instead of the typical generational gap in VC. The fund originated from an unusual path where founder Paige wrote a children's book about venture capital (Seed to Harvest) to explain VC to her family, which became the cornerstone of her personal brand and helped source LPs, partners, and deal flow through content creation.

What Makes them Unique
Video Interview
On AI in cold outreach
"I would almost say AI, even in the initial outreach, is kind of a beige flag for me. Communications is one of the most important elements of a business, whether that's investor communications, customer communications... so I don't really like to see super obvious AI."
Paige Finn Doherty | Behind Genius Ventures
On the timing of a raise
"If you think about a race and the starting gun goes off, all of your conversations are starting at the same time, then there's just more concentration... I think when you choose to have the starting gun go off really matters."

On the detail you can't fake
"What's really interesting is the specificity of detail, because that's something you can never AI away... We have a founder, and in our first call he was like, 'Yeah, me and my co-founder slept on factory floors and toured factories for six months.' That's just a sentence that is from direct life experience that is very difficult to replicate."

On building a network from scratch
"The more ambitious your goal or project, the more interesting people you will meet... The first step to building an incredible network is having a very ambitious goal that you are uniquely suited to see out, and then telling everyone you know about it."
