- Management
Greg Gretsch is Founding Partner and Managing Director of Jackson Square Ventures, an early-stage VC firm based in San Francisco that invests in software businesses.
In this episode, we discuss his entrepreneurial journey in Silicon Valley, both as a founder and an investor. We also explore power dynamics in founder-investor relationships, shifting governance norms (including distinctions between VC, PE, and public companies), and how equity compensation in tech companies has evolved in the last 25 years.
We also talk about the evolution of private markets including liquidity alternatives from secondary markets, plus the rise of AI as a new technology platform shift.
In addition, we talk about his investment in Cornershop, a leading online grocery provider focused originally on Latin America (acquired by Uber).
