Miguel Armaza interviews Charles Moldow, General Partner at Foundation Capital, a 30-year old venture capital firm with $3+ billion in AUM. Charles joined Foundation in 2005 and over the last two decades has led early-stage investments for many companies, 14 out of which either went public or were successfully acquired. Some of his investments include Lending Club, DOMA, Rappi, Rover, and OnDeck Financial.
I learn a lot every time I talk to Charles and I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
We discuss:
- Why data is the new gold and a framework on how to invest in the sector.
- The reason why different market dynamics require different types of founders to succeed.
- Thinking selectively about credit-driven fintechs.
- Valuable portfolio and liquidity management lessons… and a lot more!
