From Faith to IPO: Venture Capital, Leadership & the Public Square | Sebastian Harris

What does it really take to build wealth, back visionary founders, help take companies public, and stay grounded in purpose when the stakes are high?

In this episode of God in the Grind, Joseph Perry sits down with Sebastian Harris, Managing Partner of Sandbox Fund, for a raw and insightful conversation at the intersection of faith, finance, leadership—and the public square.

Sebastian shares firsthand insight from his involvement with PublicSq, where he was part of the journey that helped take the company through its IPO and public offering, bringing a values-driven platform into the public markets. That experience deeply informs how he thinks about stewardship, scale, accountability, and influence when capital and culture collide.

During the conversation, Joseph draws a powerful parallel from history—reflecting on the Moravians, who maintained continuous, day-and-night worship and prayer to keep the presence of the Lord central in their community. Joseph connects that devotion to modern leadership, challenging listeners to consider what it looks like to cultivate spiritual consistency, faithfulness, and God-centered alignment in business, leadership, and daily life.

Sebastian breaks down what most people don’t see about venture capital and public markets:

• Decision-making under pressure when real capital and public accountability are involved

• Long-term thinking in a short-term, headline-driven world

• The responsibility that comes with stewarding capital, influence, and trust

We dive into:

• How faith shapes leadership, investing, and influence in the public square

• Sebastian Harris’s role in helping PublicSq scale and navigate its IPO and public offering

• Operating at the highest levels of venture capital with mental and spiritual discipline

• What founders misunderstand about funding, growth, and long-term scale

• Redefining success beyond exits, valuations, and titles

This episode isn’t just about money. It’s about wisdom, stewardship, calling, and sustaining the presence of God—in business, capital markets, and the public square.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, creative, or professional navigating your own grind, this conversation will challenge how you think about success, influence, and purpose.
