Listen Later

Tim Porter, Managing Director at Madrona Venture Group, discusses how the venture capital firm operates, what a day in the life of a VC looks like, what he looks for in a founder, and funding female founders. Prior to joining Madrona in 2006, Tim attended MIT and Stanford Business School and worked at Teledesic and Microsoft. His passion about very early stage companies makes him a perfect fit for his current role, where he focuses on investing in B2B software companies in the Pacific Northwest. Some of Tim’s companies include Heptio, Highspot, Algorithmia and Lattice Data. Beyond talking about his work, Tim shares the lessons he wants to pass on to his children, what growing up in the Midwest was like and what he’s focusing on improving about himself. This episode is great for anyone thinking about a startup, looking for funding or curious about venture capital and learning more.
