Vivek Ramaswami came to Madrona after working in tech banking at Goldman Sachs, investing for years at Redpoint, and helping start Steadfast Capital's venture arm, giving him a mix of banking, early-stage, and growth investing experience that he now uses to help founders scale companies that already have product-market fit across areas like enterprise software, fintech, AI, security, and developer tools. Originally from Alberta, Canada, he was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in venture capital in 2021 before joining Madrona, and he now writes a biweekly newsletter on AI business trends while also serving on the Huckleberry Young Professionals Board in San Francisco.
