Charles Hudson

Managing Partner, Precursor Ventures

About

Charles Hudson runs Precursor Ventures as a solo GP with an intentionally high-volume approach, making 75-100 investments per fund to help founders go from zero to one before handing off to later-stage investors, comparing his individual model to golf versus traditional multi-partner venture's soccer approach. He has shifted his evaluation criteria to be increasingly founder-weighted over idea-weighted and is known for providing candid feedback to underrepresented founders about whether their ideas are truly venture-scalable, while maintaining an active writing practice that peers cite for original, frameworks-driven thinking on venture topics.
