Eric Rosenblum brings an unusually operator-heavy background to venture capital, having served as CEO, COO, and senior product leader at companies like Google and Palantir before joining Foothill Ventures, which he uses to coach founders on go-to-market and product decisions from the perspective of having "sat in nearly every seat" in a startup. He's known for his structured, almost product-manager approach to venture investing, transparently breaking down the VC job into discrete systems and regularly publishing candid tactical advice for breaking into tech and VC rather than high-level thought pieces.
