About

Satya Patel is a Partner at Homebrew, the seed-stage venture firm he co-founded with Hunter Walk, which they deliberately kept as a two-person partnership focused on backing founders. Before Homebrew, he was VP of Product at Twitter, leading product management and support, and earlier co-led seed and early-stage Internet and digital media investing as a Partner at Battery Ventures. He joined Google in 2003 to work on product and partnership initiatives for AdSense, and previously held roles as a senior product manager at DoubleClick, a VC at two New York-based venture firms, and a strategy consultant. More recently, he and Hunter Walk launched Screendoor, a $50M+ investment vehicle providing institutional capital and counsel to underrepresented venture capitalists raising their first funds.
