Tech Scenes with Seth Levine Co-Author of Capital Evolution and Partner at Foundry

"We want to create more capitalists."

In this episode of Tech Scenes Unplugged, Jeff Martin sits down with Seth Levine, Partner at Foundry and co-author of The New Builders and Capital Evolution. Seth has spent his career at the intersection of venture capital, entrepreneurship, and social impact — backing companies, funds, and ideas that aim to redefine capitalism for the modern era.

The conversation explores the intersection of technology, capitalism, and the future of work. Seth shares insights from his latest book, Capital Evolution, examining how AI, innovation, and ownership models can drive a more inclusive and dynamic form of capitalism — one that rebuilds the middle class, empowers employees, and strengthens community.

They also discuss lessons from interviews with CEOs, the need for collaboration between business and government, and why offsite meetings remain one of the most powerful tools for strategic alignment and leadership connection.
