Hunter Walk (Co-founder & Partner at Homebrew)

Hunter Walk (@hunterwalk) is Co-founder & Partner at Homebrew, a seed-stage venture firm he founded in 2013 with Satya Patel. Homebrew has invested in the likes of Plaid, Gusto, Chime, Bowery Farming, Stir, Finix Payments, Honor, Lumi, Tia, theSkimm, Winnie, and many more (see full portfolio).

Prior to founding Homebrew, Hunter led consumer product management at YouTube, spent time on the product and marketing team at Linden Lab, and worked in management consulting at Deloitte.

In this episode, Hunter and The Takeoff’s Michael Spiro discuss:

  • Founding Homebrew with Satya Patel
  • How Homebrew adds value to portfolio founders
  • Changes to the seed investing landscape since Homebrew started in 2013
  • Optimizing for processes and learning early on, not just hitting milestones
  • Consulting at Deloitte out of school
  • Why you should focus on learning early in your career
  • Advice for aspiring VCs
  • & more

You can find Hunter’s blog at https://hunterwalk.com/about/. He’s on Twitter @hunterwalk (I highly recommend following him if you aren’t already!).
