In this episode, Rob and Ileana, are joined by Bruce Hamilton, General Partner at Mech Ventures. Bruce and his partner, Mario Mitchell, are building the "Roc Nation" of Venture capital, following in the footsteps of music and entertainment/sports industry icon, Jay-Z. In their vision they'll not only reinvent and expand the venture capital industry, but they'll revolutionize how venture firms serve and support their portfolio companies and founders, in much the same way Roc Nation has reinvented the talent agency business! Bruce discusses his upbringing and inspirations, their relationship and he ties together how all of his life experiences have led to this moment in his business. We dive into their origin story as partners, Mario being a US Air Force veteran, and Bruce's background in both Music A&R talent management and the tech/software development business. These guys are young, smart, fresh, humble but wildly confident in themselves, their vision and the market they're investing in. Ileana explores Bruce's definition of "Pop culture" and he helps our audience understand why he believes there is no greater city on the world, better suited, or more relevant than Los Angeles, which is his home now!
