Listen now | Episode 116 Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.Today we have Mamoon Hamid, Partner at Kleiner Perkins. As many know, Kleiner Perkins, founded over 50 years ago is one of the most storied franchises in the history of venture capital, having backed companies companies such as Genentech, Sun Microsystems, Amazon, Google, and Uber. After stints at USVP and Social Capital, which he co-founded, Mamoon joined the firm in 2017 as part of a restructuring process to return the firm to a boutique venture capital fund focused on early-stage investing. Since then, they’ve backed companies such as Rippling and Figma. Mamoon and I spoke about how he and the team have executed the mission of bringing Kleiner to what they have coined as going back to the future. We covered a number of topics but dug deep into the importance of culture and focus.
