Summary: Welcome to Episode 32 of The VentureFizz Podcast, the flagship podcast of your most-trusted source for startup and tech jobs, news, and insights! As you may have heard, we recently expanded VentureFizz to New York City, which is really exciting! So, it obviously makes sense for us to expand our podcast there too. Welcome to the 32nd episode (and 1st in New York) of our podcast! For this episode, my guest is Graham Brown, who is a partner at Lerer Hippeau, which is the most active early-stage firm in New York. Their portfolio includes many successful companies and names you’ll recognize like Casper, Warby Parker, BuzzFeed, and many others. The firm recently announced its sixth fund at $122 million, so I was really excited to interview Graham and get all the details. In this episode, we cover: -Graham’s background and his career path -The history of Lerer Hippeau and its new fund -His particular areas of focus in terms of making investments -Advice for founders, who are looking to raise venture capital -Perspectives on the NYC Tech ecosystem -Plus, a lot more.
