HBR presents.

Hi there, I'm Azimis R, and you're listening to the exponential view podcast.

Now every week I'm in deep conversation with a brilliant mind exploring technology and the near future.

My guest today is a deep tech investor who's used to taking long shots in difficult markets.

He throws his weight behind technologies that have the potential to disrupt major industries

and may even help bring about a more abundant future.

Matt Oco is a co-managing partner of DCVC, data collective venture capital.

He's led investments in technologies from computational drug discovery and synthetic biology

to space, access platforms and more.

DCVC has been on quite a run starting its first fund just over a decade ago

with only $10 million under management.

Their most recent at $725 million is the biggest ever.

Now, before we get started, a quick note to say we have a small audience of exponential view

members listening in on this recording and they do have an opportunity to feed me questions

Matt, welcome to exponential view.

Thanks so much for having me, Azim.

Now, you've been an investor and an entrepreneur for more than three decades.
