Transcript [MUSIC PLAYING] JENNY GUY: [LAUGHS] Kicking off with that fun sound, we are here, everybody. It is December 12. So it's 12/12/2019. This is Teal Talk. I am your host, Jenny Guy. I'm Mediavine's Director of Marketing. And we are excited for a very fun show today. I have two incredible guests from the Mediavine staff here to talk about maybe not our most fun topic, but one that is necessary and that we can do everything possible in our power to protect against, and mitigate the damage. So, right now, we're in the midst of Q4. It's the happiest time of the year. We're making all the money, all of the dollars, all the advertisers are spending. And then we go to January 1. And it feels like we take a leap off a cliff. So I brought a couple of experts in here to help us get prepared for that, to winterize ourselves from the scariness that is Q1 1st. We have meet our Mediavine Co-Founder. It is Amber Bracegirdle. She is the Managing Editor of Food Fanatic. And she is here with us. Hi, Amber. Welcome back. AMBER BRACEGIRDLE: Hello, thank you so much. Good to be here, guys. JENNY GUY: We haven't had you on in so long. AMBER BRACEGIRDLE: I know. JENNY GUY: I don't know why it's been so long, but it's so good to have you. AMBER BRACEGIRDLE: Well, I was supposed to be on that one this summer that Josh jumped in for me because I wasn't feeling well. And, I mean, we got the Beanie Babies out of that. So-- [LAUGHTER] JENNY GUY: I could never forget that, the Beanie Baby Live. It was a special time for us all. AMBER BRACEGIRDLE: It really was. JENNY GUY: And then for his first time ever on a Mediavine Live appearance, we have BRAD HAGMANN, Brad from the Internet, B-rad, our Vice President of Ad Operations. Brad, welcome. BRAD HAGMANN: Hello. Thank you for having me. I've been begging to get on this show forever. JENNY GUY: You have. AMBER BRACEGIRDLE: He lies. BRAD HAGMANN: So it's is lovely to be here. AMBER BRACEGIRDLE: He's lying. JENNY GUY: He's always-- always trying to get on this show. And I had to say no so many times. And, finally, I said, fine. You seem to know something about ads. I'll let you on the program. BRAD HAGMANN: There you go. JENNY GUY: Brad, so you're something-- we're going to start here because you've never been on. And I'm going to capitalize on it. You are basically Mediavine royalty. So if you could tell us what does the Vice President of Ad Ops do? And what kind of your trajectory was at Mediavine? Because your job has been a little fluid over-- since we've become full service ad managers. BRAD HAGMANN: Royalty, wow. JENNY GUY: Yeah. BRAD HAGMANN: That's a great introduction. JENNY GUY: Yeah. AMBER BRACEGIRDLE: I agree with that BRAD HAGMANN: I mean, so honestly, the answer is, like, most days, I don't even know. It's sort of a joke, but not really. But, you know, with the speed of change in this industry, I don't really know what when next week or my next month is going to look like.

Inc., having held roles in various departments from Sales, Business Development, Ad Operations and Marketing and presently serves on the boards/advisory boards of several internet advertising and ad technology companies across the globe. In Today's Episode You Will Learn: 1.) How did Marvin make his move into technology and the investing game? 2.) How was Marvin's time at Yahoo? How did Marvin see the company change over the 10 years he was there? How do you feel your position at Yahoo equipped you for 500 Startups? 3.) So coming from 10 years at Yahoo you could have had your pick of VCs to join. What was it about 500 that attracted you and why do you believe this very early stage is the biggest opportunity to exploit? 4.) 500 has now ironically invested in 1000+ startups, leading me to ask, what is the admissions process like and what Marvin's criteria at 500 for investment decisions? What are the key metrics you look at? 5.) How does Marvin respond to the notion that investing with 500 Startups removes the talent of investing through the spray and pray method? 6.) Now 500 Startups has recently raises an new $85m fund, alongside a new fund of $30m for Japan, $10m for South East Asia and a $10m fund for Thailand.
