Managing Partner, Julian Capital, Deep Checks

Julian Shapiro is a "handbook-first" investor who writes detailed public guides on startup topics that founders study before meeting him, creating pre-earned trust and alignment that's rare among seed investors. He combines deep technical growth marketing expertise from founding Demand Curve with an unusual "writer first, investor second" approach, positioning himself as both a deeptech investor and storyteller who helps founders translate complex technology into clear narratives.
