Renaud Visage’s Next Billion-Dollar Bet

Why the next generation of climate champions will need more than early-stage capital to win.

Building Conviction Before the World Sees It

What it takes to back scientific founders before there’s a product, revenue, or proof that the science will work. We’re joined by Max, Founder & Managing Partner at Nucleus, a pre-seed venture fund backing scientific and technical founders across food, biotech, and industrial innovation. In this episode, we dive into what it really takes to become the first institutional believer in a company, often before there’s an MVP, customers, or even certainty that the underlying technology can scale. Max shares the lessons from building Nucleus from scratch, how he learned to evaluate breakthrough science without being a scientist himself, and why the best founders combine technical brilliance with the ability to tell a compelling story.
