In this episode of “The Next Wave,” Young Sohn sits down with Bruce Leak, general partner at Playground Global, an early-stage investment firm that’s helping deep-tech entrepreneurs bring their bold technical visions to life.

A Silicon Valley veteran—and an early employee at storied companies like Microsoft, Apple and General Magic—Leak cofounded Playground Global because he and his partners wanted to create the kind of venture capital firm they wished existed when they were building their own companies.

Standing at the forefront of science and technology, Playground invests somewhere between the improbable and the impossible. From robotics to quantum computing to groundbreaking medical advancements, Playground embraces startups and entrepreneurs in frontier technologies that are poised to make an impact for generations to come.
