About this episode

Ben duPont discusses his journey from the duPont family legacy to becoming a venture capital visionary, focusing on innovation and the impact of AI.

Ben duPont grew up with one of the most recognizable last names in American business — but he chose to forge his own path beyond the family empire. And while most of us don't know what it's like to have our name as a brand, many of us do know what it's like to consider following our family's expectations or chart our own course. In this wide-ranging conversation, the co-founder of Yet2 and partner at Chartline Capital Partners shares how he left the duPont company to pioneer open innovation, why he’s more optimistic than ever about the future, and what’s really changing in the age of AI. Ben breaks down the key difference between the last tech wave and today.
