Andy Weissman - Managing Partner at Union Square Ventures and Aspiring Music Journalist and Critic

When you mix venture capital with a love of music, you get this week’s guest, Andy Weissman — managing partner at Union Square Ventures.

After graduating from Wesleyan University, Andy received his JD from Georgetown before making his way to startups and venture capital. He describes himself as someone who stumbles through life looking for peace, happiness, and comfort, and I know him as someone who is unlike any other venture capitalist I’ve ever met.

In this episode, we talk about how luck and serendipity collide and how he makes his investment decisions at USV— especially when a company's mission and purpose speak to him.
