Melody Koh is a Partner at NextView Ventures, a high conviction, hands-on seed stage investor that backs founders building technology companies to redesign the everyday economy.

In this episode of The Deal, Melody shares what led her back to venture after her time at Blue Apron, launching her own startup while pursuing an MBA at Harvard Business School, how she evaluates prospective investments at NextView, and how founders can stand out in a sea of deal flow.
