Madrona is a venture capital firm based in Seattle, investing mainly in early stage technology companies. The firm has over two decades of helping technology entrepreneurs launch and grow world-class companies such as Amazon, Smartsheet, Snowflake, Redfin, and Apptio. At Madrona, I invested in low code tools, productivity platforms, and online communities. I led or worked closely on the firm’s investment in companies such as Common Room, Rec Room, Rainway, Coda, Snowflake, and Tigera.
