Scott Hartley is a best-selling author who wrote "The Fuzzy and the Techie" about the power of liberal arts skills in tech, and he's made this philosophy central to his investing approach rather than treating it as a side interest. He co-designed a community-driven VC model where hundreds of founders serve as LPs and actively help portfolio companies, with Hartley describing his role as air-traffic control between portfolio needs and LP expertise rather than traditional partner-centric support.
