Mixergy: Andy Rachleff on founding Benchmark & Wealthfront
I did this interview because I wanted to know happens when one of the most successful venture capitalists becomes a startup founder.
Andy Rachleff is the founder of Benchmark Capital, whose investments include Uber, Snap, eBay, and Juniper Networks.
More recently, he founded Wealthfront, the automated investment firm. It invests your money with minimal amount of work from you. Then it monitors your portfolio daily to look for opportunities to rebalance or harvest tax losses.
