CUVCPE x Prelude x Cambridge Compute Co.

​An Evening with Prelude & Cambridge Compute Co.

​Brett Sun, Co-Founder of Prelude, went from engineer to investor. After serving as CTO of Aragon One, whose tools came to underpin 1,500+ onchain organisations including Curve and Lido, he started Cherry Crypto inside Cherry Ventures and spun it out as Prelude, a first-check fund backing founders at the very earliest stage.

​Sam Leeney, Founder of Cambridge Compute Co, went from researcher to founder. During his Cambridge PhD in cosmology, he built GPU infrastructure for crunching telescope data, then spun it out as Cambridge Compute Co., now backed by Seedcamp and Moonfire.

​We'll explore: → Venture creation, from idea to first cheque → What it really takes to spin research out of a university → Turning a PhD into a company investors want to back → How first-check investors evaluate ideas early on → And more
