I sat down with Jimmy Yun, Principal at 8VC, for a conversation on how he approaches partnering with founders in enterprise software and frontier technology. At 8VC, Jimmy also plays a key role in the firm’s Build, a model focused not just on investing in great companies, but helping to create them from the ground up.

In this episode, we explored how Jimmy evaluates opportunities at the edge of enterprise and frontier markets, the principles that guide his own approach to investing, and how 8VC’s Build strategy shapes the companies they back. We also dug into the unique challenges and opportunities founders face in these spaces, and where Jimmy sees the most exciting opportunities to build today.

If you want a look into how top-tier investors think about both backing and building companies from day one, this episode is a must-listen.
