Because I think I made the joke about investment bankers and that wasn’t necessarily your path. Well, tell me a little bit about your journey. It could be that maybe we just do yoga all day long, I don’t know. It’s more of a partnership we’re in this together to ultimately make an impact. It’s not just about making an investment. I would not put that together, but-a little bit! I think when I think about venture capital, ultimately what you’re trying to do is to move the ecosystem forward and help entrepreneurs get from point A to point B: operational excellence, understanding the market, understanding how to execute, understanding sales and IP. I love the way you’ve kind of woven that together. We were talking about you and we were talking about venture capitalists and I said well, you know, really venture capitalists are really investment bankers that do yoga, true or false?! So first off, I want to start out with a conversation I was having with a colleague you just met, Adam. And I’m sure I’m not doing full justice, but Mike has a long and storied career, and just happy to have you here.

And since then, Mike has taken some very interesting roles, including at Austin Ventures, as well as at MassChallenge-which is a startup accelerator based in Boston-and started and ran the Austin chapter. I know Mike going back 15 years when we worked together at AT&T Knowledge Ventures where we sat side by side. I want to welcome my-I’m happy to say-good friend Mike Millard, who is currently the operating partner at Ecliptic Capital.
