Podcast with Venture Investor Russ Fein

Venture investor Russ Fein moved to Colorado for family reasons – landing in the heart of one of America’s biggest quantum ecosystems was an unexpected bonus. This new homebase was the perfect place to pursue his pandemic research project: quantum tech. Russ tracks advances in quantum hardware and software on his Substack newsletter, The Quantum Leap, and guides investment decisions at Corporate Fuel. Russ is also CFO and a board member at Colorado-based Vescent. He spoke with The Quantum Spin about why he likes investing in the “picks and shovels” opportunities in the quantum sector.
