Hi, this is Melody, thanks for stopping by.
I'm a Venture Partner at NextView Ventures based in NYC. We're a seed-stage VC firm that champions founders redesigning daily living for everyday people.
Previously I was Head of Product at Blue Apron, leading a 35-person team across product management, product design, and analytics through the company's hyper-growth (25X in 3.5 years) and IPO.
Other things I've done: product at Fab.com, founder of a wine ecommerce co, and VC at Time Warner Investments.
There has been a lot of commentary recently stating that MBAs, and Harvard MBAs specifically, aren’t very good startup founders.
“Only 12 of the 39 companies had any MBAs within their co-founding teams…only three had at least one co-founder who went to HBS.” – Dan Primack of Fortune
“I would bet a large amount of money that the overwhelming majority of us would not look favorably on a company started by one of you” - Chamath Palihapitiya on Harvard MBAs
