With George Georgiadis

How does an engineer turn into an investor? And what does it take to back world-changing technology before it’s cool — or proven?

In this episode, we talk to George Georgiadis, Founding Partner at Evercurious VC, a new deep-tech venture fund betting on scientist-founders building defensible technologies. George shares how his decade at Volkswagen’s HQ shaped his approach to investing, why Europe keeps inventing breakthrough tech but failing to commercialize it, and why Evercurious prefers conviction over hype when picking early-stage bets. We also explore how VCs can help technical founders become leaders — and what makes a startup worth waiting six years for.
