What does a former theatre director know about building billion-dollar deep-tech companies? Quite a lot, as it turns out. Phil Morle has spent his career moving between art, technology and venture capital. From experimental theatre and the wild early days of Kazaa to co-founding Pollenizer and helping build Main Sequence into one of Australia’s most important deep-tech investors, Phil has led the way.
In this episode, Phil talks about AI as a “steam engine for the mind”, why the best founders tell stories about futures that don’t exist yet, the difference between an exciting idea and one you’d actually bet the house on, and why the story you tell can become either a navigator or a constraint for your ambitions.
Ultimately, it’s a conversation about how story fuels our ability to see a different future, persuade other people to believe in it, and then do the bloody hard work of making it real.
