Harry Stebbings, Podcaster and VC
“You really have to be unwaveringly obsessed..."
Harry Stebbings’ career began at the age of 13, when he watched The Social Network — David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin’s brooding portrayal of the earliest days of Facebook. But whereas many of us watched that film and thought: “I’d quite like to be a tech founder”, Harry watched it and thought: “Gosh. I want to be a venture capitalist.”
A few years later, and with £200 pounds in the bank and not a single contact in the VC world, Harry started his podcast, The Twenty Minute VC. Now, more than 10 years and 1400 episodes later, Harry has pivoted his juggernaut-like podcast into his very own VC fund — one that has backed 13 unicorns to-date. Here, in a beautifully candid interview, Harry tells the podcast about the AI start-up sphere; why he chooses to work nine-to-nine, six days a week; how his often lonely childhood formed his entrepreneurial mindset; the dangers of social media usage; and the things that make him optimistic about the future.

In conversation with Daisy Knatchbull, Editor of Kultura
In this special episode of the Gentleman's Journal Podcast we sit down with Daisy Knatchbull and Harry Jarman to discuss the launch of Kultura — a new magazine about pioneering women redefining success on their own terms. The entrepreneurs talk about how the venture first came about; the struggle of coming up with a name; why Lauren Hutton, at the age of 81; was the best possible first cover star; and why it’s always worth paying more for shoes.
