To celebrate the L.A. community and the city's growth, a16z recently hosted, "Time to Build Los Angeles," an event where we invited L.A.-based investors, founders, and operators from across a diverse range of industries to talk about company building in L.A. In the first in our series of interviews, we invited Andrew Chen from a16z, Minnie Ingersoll from TenOneTen, and Turner Novak from Banana Capital to talk about why L.A. is at an inflection point, misperceptions about the region, and what makes a great meme. But first, we opened our panel discussion with a presentation from a16z consumer partner, Katia Ameri, on what you need to know about the L.A. scene and why we think it's worth paying attention to in the years to come. What follows is a slightly edited version of that conversation.

Today we're talking with Minnie Ingersoll, a partner at TenOneTen ventures and host of the LA Venture podcast.

About this episode TenOneTen Ventures is an early-stage venture fund. The firm personifies entrepreneurial expertise within the technology space. Their mission is to back entrepreneurs who inspire them, then do whatever it takes to help them get the job done. Minnie Ingersoll is co-founder of Shift and partner at TenOneTen Ventures. This week she joins us to share her entrepreneurial origin story, as well as some of the work OneTenOne Ventures, is doing to help other entrepreneurs. Minnie's story is a fascinating one. Throughout her story, you will hear just how correctly wired she is to help early-stage startups. Her journey displays the power of understanding your strengths and going all-in on them. Of course, we have to start at the beginning. And for Minnie, the start was not one where you would have predicted it would lead her to where she is today. This is Minnie Ingersoll's startup story. In this episode, you'll hear Minnie's upbringing, growing up in a home of academics but knowing she wanted to do and be more. About her desire from a young age to attend Stanford. How she graduated with a computer science degree as the.COM bust was happening. Her move to Manhattan after graduation and working for the startup, LivePerson, as a product manager. How her desire to understand all aspects of business lead her to Harvard Business School. With an MBA in hand, but still drawn to startups, Minnie decided to move back to Silicon Valley. A 'We're hiring' screenshot from her mother led her to apply for and land a job at Google. Minnie shares some behind-the-scenes stories about how Google develops its products. Minnie's entrepreneurial spirit eventually led her to leave Google and start her own company. Feeling her skillset is best for the early days of startups, and wanting something different with three young children, she turned her attention to venture funds to finance startups and founded TenOneTenVentures. The challenges faced by women in venture funding, as well as some opportunities presented to them. When looking for investments, Minnie looks for a balance between expertise and passion. “There are many flavors of entrepreneurship.

It was really hard to do a podcast about myself on my own podcast, but my dear friend Steph Hannon was kind enough to interview me.  I tried to give the basics of TenOneTen ($500-$1M into seed rounds), but mostly felt like we chatted about my background and this podcast.  

Minnie Ingersoll of TenOneTen Ventures joins Nick to discuss Embracing Failure, Capitalizing on Crisis & Building Resilience. In this episode, we cover: Backstory/path to Venture You co-founded Shift, which you scaled to $100M. What was the most unexpected/surprising aspect of leading and scaling a venture-backed startup? Where did you spend most of your time (and mindshare) at A vs. B vs. C/D? What was it like building a venture-backed startup as a woman? Tell us a bit about the thesis at TenOneTen. I was recently speaking with M.G. Siegler about the societal impacts of tech... all of which are not positive.  I know you're a mother, so this probably takes on new meaning for you... but how to you consider social and societal responsibility in your role as a tech investor? You've experienced early struggles in your life that have informed your approach as an investor and founder.  Can you talk about what you've been through, the impact and the perspective you've gained from it? Is failure acceptable?  As an investor failure makes me really uneasy and I've not had to deal with this yet with a portfolio company but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.  What's your stance on failure and how to speak with founders about it? You've spoken about the importance of founder resilience... Is it something you select for in investments or something you work on with existing portco founders... trying to help them build resilience? How are the challenges for women similar different as a founder vs. investor? Favorite Podcast guest? Best/favorite low profile investor in LA?

Minnie Ingersoll, VC and partner at TenOneTen Ventures, takes us on a journey through her long career in Tech, both as a VC and as a product manager. Starting out in the early days at Google, Minnie discusses how her experience with the global giant informed her current work at TenOneTen and SHIFT. She shares her views on the online car industry, the importance of resilience as an entrepreneur, and the larger social responsibility of tech companies as they continue to inform how we live and communicate with one another.

David Waxman, managing partner of TenOneTen, engages in a thought-provoking dialogue about the various applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in our day to day lives. Machine learning, one form of the broader term AI, touches our lives in ways that we have come to take for granted in the last decade. From understanding voice recognition with Alexa and self-driving cars, to exploring different ways that machine learning can influence the media we consume and dictate our navigation, join us as David and Jim's discuss it all.

Eytan is a multiple time co-founder (Social Native, Render Media, Scopely), venture partner at TenOneTen, and full of insights on angel investing.

An informal look at my experience raising $200M from Sand Hill Road, transitioning to a new role as a partner at a local LA venture fund, lessons learned, lessons learning, and what has surprised me now that I'm sitting on the other side of the table. ------------- At Shift, we raised ~$100M from DFJ, Highland Capital, Goldman Sachs, BMW and DCM before just recently raising another $140M series D. Shift started with me showing up at my co-founders apartment every morning at 10am, parking cars outside his house and taking pics with my iPhone. It's been up and to the right like a deeply soul-searching rollercoaster. I moved back to Pasadena to be close to family and did some speed dating with the LA venture funds before landing at TenOneTen. We fund early stage entrepreneurs (usually $500k - $1M check size) and I am just learning the ropes. In this talk, I'll reflect on what I've learned and what I'm still learning. Bio: Minnie Ingersoll Long-time Silicon Valley product leader and operations executive with a particular interest in building and scaling impact through elegant technical solutions and great teams. I started my career as an early product manager at Google where I co-founded the Access team. After 11+ years, I left Google to become COO of Shift. In my spare time I volunteer for city government, surf baby waves, and raise baby people.
