Our guest this week is Mark Goodman, managing director at MassMutual Ventures. 

Mark shares the story of his circuitous path to the VC world, with stops along the way at a family furniture business and a PhD in philosophy. We’ll find out what it takes for a hopeful startup to catch his eye, whether or not he thinks cyber continues to be a hot area for investment, as well as his thoughts on what it takes to be a successful venture capital investor.
