Carter Williams, who is CEO and Managing Partner of iselect Fund

A feature length episode with Carter Williams, who is CEO and Managing Partner of iselect Fund. We talk about his post degree experience in the President Bush campaign. He left politics to spend time in industry. He then became an aircraft engineer, where he solved complex problems. There is an incredible story of the development of the first AWS and computation of complex problems from 1991.

He then moved to Boeing, and he was managing the research and development with $£2.5 billion a year fund. Lots of employees wanted to start their own companies but Boeing helped by setting this venture fund. Carter managed the R&D the innovation strategy.

Carter again demonstrated his passion for innovation with spending time in renewables industry in 2006. The complex systems problem of making renewables more efficient was the reason why he was attracted to this project. 

We then talk about his own VC fund called Iselect. This is split into 2 different areas firstly, food and health, with developing plant-based protein products. Improving nutrition by more protein but doing this without animal-based products. The second is helping high net worth individuals investing in entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are the best way to solve problems not politicians. This is going to be fascinating how big this fund can grow.
