Marcus Graham has backed some of the most audacious hard-tech ventures of the century. In an expansive conversation, he dissects why standard venture capital fund structures often fail deep-tech innovators.

"If you want to build a commercial nuclear fusion plant or a biological synthesizer, you cannot be forced to engineer a liquidity exit in year seven to satisfy a five-year IRR metric," Graham asserts.
