🎙️ From Physics to Venture Capital: A Journey of Models, Mindsets & Maturity | CapricornConnect with Lucas du Croo de Jongh
In this episode of CapricornConnect, I sit down with Lucas du Croo de Jongh — theoretical physicist turned consultant, venture capitalist, and business angel. Lucas’s journey spans from decoding the laws of physics to navigating the dynamics of startups and scale-ups.
We explore how his scientific mindset shapes his approach to investing, decision-making, and supporting founders in their growth journey.
Key themes from our conversation:
- How physics taught Lucas to model complex realities — and why models are useful, but people matter most
- The fine balance between guiding founders and letting them make their own choices
- What separates truly exceptional founders: maturity, emotional intelligence, and humility
- The challenges of scaling from startup to global success
- How AI is transforming industries, jobs, and the fabric of society
Lucas brings a rare mix of analytical rigor and human insight to entrepreneurship and investing. His pragmatic and humble perspective is full of lessons for founders, investors, and leaders alike.
