About Liam Donohue

Liam Donohue co-founded one of the earliest dedicated edtech venture funds before joining .406 Ventures, and he opened Booz Allen Hamilton's first office in Budapest shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, giving him hands-on experience building businesses in rapidly changing markets. He co-founded .406 Ventures with his spouse So-June Min as a rare founding couple running a venture firm together, and he uses the .406 batting average as a metaphor for staying disciplined within a narrow band of sectors rather than chasing trends or gathering assets.

Liam Donohue's Interests

What they've been talking about across their social media accounts
  • Strong focus on healthcare transformation, specifically regarding cost reduction and improved patient outcomes. He frequently highlights companies like Iora Health for redefining primary care models and AbilTo for their success in delivering behavioral therapy that demonstrably lowers healthcare expenses.
  • Deep interest in enterprise cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure. He consistently champions technical teams protecting corporate assets, evidenced by his repeated support for Carbon Black and Threat Stack, particularly noting their innovations in cloud security auditing.
  • Active celebration of portfolio milestones and commercial partnerships. He acts as a vocal advocate for his investments, broadcasting wins such as Redox securing Series B capital and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield collaborating with portfolio companies to offer no-cost therapy services.
  • Appreciation for high-quality, human-centric customer service. He publicly commends large corporations like American Airlines when they show flexibility with travel cancellations, while expressing frustration with rigid, formulaic technical support from major carriers that fail to resolve urgent issues.
  • Engagement with the practical application of data analytics over hype. He promotes the idea that data must be usable to be valuable, sharing perspectives on the limitations of general big data while endorsing Indico Data for their specific approach to making unstructured content useful.
