    Must listen for any founders.
    Harry is simply brilliant at this. I’ve learnt more as a founder listening to this podcast than reading a plethora of books. His curation of questions, guest list, and applicability of content to real world problems that founders face on their journey is unmatched. It is timeless in that it keeps with the latest trends in the industry. When you’re on a walk, a drive, or simply with a few minutes on hand, this podcast will help you realize new pathways applicable to your journey. Whether you’re a first time founder or a serial entrepreneur, add this to your collection of knowledge bases. You will be thankful!

    Too good to miss!
    Just heard my first show, the Ultimate Hiring Playbook with Matteo Franceschetti and I was glued to both the content and the delivery. Harry Stebbings packed dozens of high value questions and Matteo delivered as much good insights as he possibly could.

  • TonyP_Cle
    Great show, look forward to it
    This past pod with Lori Jimenez was best one yet.
  • Harry Campbell
    Informative VC podcast
    The content is interesting, and the guest lineup is great. Harry has engaging questions for his guests, and I’ve learned a lot. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in early-stage investing. Enjoyed the recent episode with Alex Lebrun, especially the open vs. closed AI models discussion.
  • Jbr1111
    Top quality
    Brilliant guests and very smart punchy questions. Well worth the time.
  • Luiz Amorim (Lula)
    Irritating!
    I don’t know if it’s the voice of the host, the editing of the podcast, or whatever, but with so many options of podcasts today, I can’t listen to this one.
  • FKJohn
    Good content comes at a price
    The ads are completely disruptive to the point of hijacking the content.

    I’m almost certain the host is the voice actor for the asparagus from veggie tales

    Love The Twenty Minute VC
    Jason Lemkin persistent in being competitive in the e-signature market where they offer fremium service really shows what you can do when you blend your intuition, knowledge, and persistence.

    Favorite business podcast
    Harry is a great interviewer and is consistently able to get high profile but interesting guests that actually have a lot of experience and insight. You can tell that Harry is passionate about what he does and it shows in his voice and the questions asked. Would definitely recommend this to almost any entrepreneur or investor, especially those who like business podcasts.

  • Rivers aaaaa
    Super insightful and dynamic
    I have followed Harry's podcast for years and I appreciate the value, the enthusiasm and the insight that comes out of every one. Harry is a great personality and I always learn something!
  • Limnophilia
    great content, not fond of editing
    Love the content but not crazy abouttheeditingthatmakes-theshowsoundlikethisreads.
  • RKBroadrangeAI
    Thank you Harry
    Thank you for hosting Vinod Khosla and it was quite an exciting, enriching and intellectually stimulating experience. Great Interview. Thoroughly enjoyed this Podcast.
  • Ashesashes1
    40 min VC more like
    the ads are sooooo disruptive. content can be shorter
  • PatBean617
    Must for VC but insightful for all
    I’m a retained exec search professional for biotech so I don’t always listen to the consumer-heavy podcasts or others that have no relevance to me but most of the work we do is VC-backed companies, so much of it is relevant. Regardless, this podcast is in many ways a mini-MBA. So many good book recs from his quick fire q’s as well
  • DaniMantich
    So much value in each episode
    And I always leave the interview more inspired than before I pressed play
  • kevj05
    Very insightful
    I really enjoy the podcast! Word to the wise...the podcast flows much better and is more authentic and engaging when the people you interview aren’t just reading prewritten responses into the microphone. (Like this week)
  • Kev.runner
    Must listen for various groups
    The variety of topics makes this a MUST listen for anyone involved with transactions. As an founder partway through a seed round, I find this show incredibly informative and it allows me to contribute more meaningful talking points while networking. Highly recommend for founders, executives, partners, attorneys, and really anyone curious about what happens behind the scenes with raising or investing.
  • nbkoiww
    Good but I can’t get through the accent
    It’s ok
  • Seyed128
    Way too many ads
    4 minutes of ads for a 20 minute podcast???
  • Wizardig
    Lots of value
    Great guests and straight-to-the-point host. The show has little fluff and lots of value. A+
  • pauldesadeleer
    Exceptional Content
    Exceptionally high quality and value add content and an incredible resource for founders, operators and investors alike to learn, benchmark and grow. In addition to interviewing nearly every major thought leader in the space, Harry is also a skilled conversationalist, asking insightful, challenging, intelligent and empathetic questions. I think Peter Fenton said it best on the podcast - it’s “a great historical capturing of the current state of our industry”. Thank you, Harry for all of your great work and how you’ve supported my process to hone the craft. Excited to see what’s ahead in the decades to come!
  • Widny St Louis
    My favorite podcast
    I can’t get enough of Twenty Minute VC. The other day I drove 360 miles listening only to this podcast the whole way and many of the episodes I’ve already listened to multiple times before. Is that weird? This has been helpful for me, a first-time founder in South Florida trying to understand the world of VCs. I’ve discovered VCs that I would like to work with through this podcast. I enjoy the interview with different founders as well. A fun and informative podcast. Thanks Harry! Keep up the good work
  • Gummito
    Well done 👏
    Mr. Harry deserves all his success and more for amazing information his show puts out every single time 👌
  • Jeremyh1
    Great Show
    Consistenly great content from people that I really want to hear from. Definitely has presentented many different perspectives that have had an impact on me.
  • Mapretty
    Ugh
    Talks too fast, couldn’t tell where the commercials ended and where the content began. So frustrated b/c I was looking forward to what the details described the interview was going to be about.
  • D. Craig II
    Extremely Insightful
    Long time subscriber, first time commenter. This podcast is extremely insightful and a must listen for any aspiring venture capitalist.
  • BlankCalifornia
    My Favorite Podcast
    The Twenty Minute VC is the one podcast I don't miss. Thanks Harry! As an early stage entrepreneur it provided invaluable information from both the investor and entrepreneur's perspective. Thank you for making it in such a digestable format.
  • Sammers09
    Legendary
    Harry is a legendary host, truly one of the best. Also, he consistently brings on the best in the VC industry. You can tell the professionalisms and effort put into the show.
  • Kevin.124
    Great content, crappy editing
    Great content and interviews, but enough with the jump cuts - I’d happily listen for 3-5 more minutes if it meant I didn’t have to listen to these editing blips that pop up wherever he gets rid of the natural flow/spacing of his guest speakers.
  • Sasssasssyyyyyyy
    Love.
    Harry’s energy is amazing- it’s infectious!! Harry asks insightful/pertinent questions and keeps the interview moving right along. As someone about to raise funding, this podcast it’s beyond insightful. To hear from VCs and Entrepreneurs covers all sides of the pendulum. Also, I admire Harry’s hustle. To have over 2000 interviews under his belt with such prominent characters in the VC world is admirable to say the least. Also love how he gives credit to the intros too. Can’t stress how much I enjoy this!
  • producer97
    One of my favorite startup podcasts
    Very good guests, very good interviewing. Sometimes it would be nice to go longer, although I appreciate being short and sweet as well.
  • 173:6!4&,;$4&
    Love it
    Been a huge fan for the last year, love the super high quality of VCs on the show, and the great topics and discussions that Harry facilitates.
  • DTranimal
    Favorite podcasts for commutes
    Tremendous and diverse guests and great questions from Harry. Definitely my preferred podcast for my walks to and from the train station (also exactly the perfect length at 1.5x speed)
  • Samuel Thomas Elliott
    A Must Listen for Entrepreneurs
    If you want to be the best learn from the best. Most of us can't go into a place like Foundry Group and ask Brad Feld what his thoughts are on VR or AI. What we can do is listen to this podcast. Harry is documenting the history of Venture Capital by interviewing a plethora of guests on his show. We all know the industry has changed drastically over the past two decades but how do VCs of different firms view the change? Harry and his guests will tell you and explain where they see the industry and industries of interests going. Overall, I am amazing with how much I have learned in such little time just by listening to this podcast while driving & working out. I am extremely appreciative of all the time and hardwork put into this podcast! Thank you for creating a channel for some of the greats and some people just starting out to share their knowledge and thoughts on venture capital.
  • Lewisball
    A must listen
    If you are interested in venture capital this podcast is a must. Love it
  • Marcus255839294728283
    Knowledge per Time is Excellent
    One of the best podcasts out there on VC & entrepreneurship. Harry brings on big talent in the VC & entre world to the show. Harry is one of the best podcast hosts in the game & asks brilliant questions, adds great commentary, and structures the conversation very effectively.
  • @fin15hq
    Incredible for founders
    As a founder you can't get more value packed into 20mins - sure it seems aimed at VCs more than Founders but that means more value for Founders as you can then go and do more research and the VC is not talking to his 'customers' (Founders) but his industry - to me that means a deeper level of insight. Also if you want to raise capital you need to learn about the VCs and, again, here you get really insightful nuggets that can help you identify VCs you want to learn more about. The Albert Wenger & Kevin Rose episodes are my favorites but maybe that's bc they are two of my favourite VCs - still there is value in crossing off VCs and Harry is amazing at getting nuggets out of his guest during every interview.
  • experiencedfan000
    Good
    Clear cut, no politics, focus on business
  • JYellin
    Insightful Podcast
    I really enjoy this podcast. Harry Stebbings interviews interesting industry players who usually have good stories and perspectives. I think what I like most is the variety of perspectives on the show. Harry is a very good interviewer and seems to know how to get his interviewees to engage.
  • StartupMonkey
    My drive time favorite
    The 20 minute VC is one of my go-to podcasts for my morning commute, I never miss an episode. Harry's insightful interviews and compelling guests make this podcast a must listen for any start a founder even if they never intend to raise outside capital. Keep up the great work!
  • Tom22226
    V good / insightful
    I'm always asked why do you have the Chicago Bulls argyle sock money I always say why don't YOU have one? Five stars.
  • Brickwall1225
    Great collection w/different insights each episode
    1 - Love the fact that you have over 200 episodes! 2 - Love the fact that I don't hear a "playbook" model of Q & A each episode 3 - Love the excitement in your voice with each episode, it really matters and it shines through with each episode, you clearly are excited about what you do. 4 - Love the show, period.
  • Eric Weisberg
    Great podcast
    This podcast is a must listen to for anyone interested in learning more about venture capital and startups. Harry conducts interesting interviews with both leading venture capitalists and founders that give you great insights and knowledge.
  • farmingtonhills
    Harry is a legend!
    Fantastic podcast, probably my favorite on iTunes. Harry is a phenomenal interviewer and if you're at all interested in VC this is a must-listen.
  • @joncwarner
    Great Podcast on VCs and the world of startup investment
    This is a gem of a Podcast. Although your need a few minutes initially to get used to Harry Stebbings English accent in his interviews (and I’m a Brit!) he is superbly prepared for each interview and is an excellent and intelligent interviewer. I look forward to each new Podcast. Great stuff.
