Managing director Paul Goodrich believes in the power of ideas. And he works hard to help entrepreneurs make something of them. This manifests in a strong focus on early hiring decisions, when each hire can have a huge effect (positive or negative) on the success of the enterprise. And it comes through when listening to Paul talk about the challenges in making the correct judgment on when to be more or less “hands on” in the management of the start-up. “It’s a balancing act, but everything we do in this regard, we do to help the company get or remain on the right track.” (Source : Madrona Venture Group website, http://www.madrona.com/venture-capital-team/ team-members.asp?name=Paul%2DGoodrich&member=2)
