After an incredible evening of really great music, I interviewed Jason Mendelson, Managing Director Foundry Group & 2013 Venturescape Chair. After a very late nite & putting so much energy into playing with his band the nite before, I asked him how being a musician contributed to his success as a venture capitalist. I also asked him his thoughts on the changes that are happening to the venture industry. Really interesting responses, have a look at the interview.
