About

Hunter Walk led consumer product management at YouTube before co-founding the seed firm Homebrew with Satya Patel in 2013, backing companies such as Chime and Plaid. The pair later converted Homebrew to an evergreen, self-funded model and co-founded Screendoor, which invests in new fund managers. His blog on startups and venture has made him one of the most approachable voices in seed investing.
