Before joining Comcast Ventures, Andre Iguodala had already made more than 40 startup investments, including Zoom, Datadog, PagerDuty, and Allbirds, and served on the board of Jumia, giving him a view into African markets that few venture investors have. He often compares building companies to building a basketball team, created the Players Technology Summit with Bloomberg to bring together athletes, investors, and tech leaders, and has written about keeping teams motivated during shutdowns, reflecting his focus on mentoring founders from underrepresented backgrounds.
