Why do the people who build the most meaningful things almost always choose the hardest path and what does that unlock in the long run?
In this episode, I talk with Larsen Jensen, Founding General Partner of Harpoon Ventures, about why deliberately choosing difficult problems builds the resilience, clarity, and long-term edge required to create category-defining companies. Larsen shares lessons from his time as an Olympic medalist and Navy SEAL, how those experiences shaped his investing philosophy, and why venture capital is ultimately a power-law game driven by rare outliers. We explore how founders develop mental toughness, how conviction is formed under uncertainty, and why great investors learn to trust teams more than models.
