Co-Founder at Foundation Capital · Joined 1995
View Live Interactive Profile →Kathryn Gould built her venture career at Merrill Pickard Anderson & Eyre, becoming one of the first prominent women in Silicon Valley venture capital at a time when the industry was almost entirely male. She co-founded Foundation Capital with Bill Elmore and Jim Anderson in October 1995, built around a distinctive philosophy the firm still describes as seeking out 'zero-billion-dollar markets' - emerging categories that don't yet exist until a visionary founder creates them. That approach made Foundation one of Netflix's original investors years before its public listing, and the firm has gone on to back more than 400 companies including LendingClub, Chegg, Sunrun, and Uber, with 26 IPOs and more than 80 acquisitions across three decades.
