SHOW NOTES

0:37 Amy Peck introduces KP Reddy, the Founder and General Partner at Shadow Ventures.

5:40 You've written a book on BIM and you've written a book on startups. Let's start with the BIM book. Why a BIM book at that time?

13:30 So, I'd love to talk about your portfolio and your "investment ethos" and what excites you in some of the companies. Can you share some of the successes of some of your portfolio companies?

18:13 And so are you getting most of your inbounds from being in the industry and just having the reputation that you do, or are there other ways that founders are finding you?

21:37 So are you seeing any particular trends in the industry, and where should large commercial builders be looking for this next-level technology?

25:35 Projecting yourself 15 to 20 years in the future, and you could bring with you any service or gadget, and it doesn't have to be based in reality at all, what would it be and what would it do?
