Satya Patel is the founder and partner at Homebrew - a Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm that invests in startups with big-impact. Satya has a strong operating background spanning product innovation and leadership at Google and Twitter. Now, he prides himself in being a hands-on early-stage investor. He works side by side with founders to build excellent teams, products, and the companies that they envision.Critical to entrepreneurial success is having a very narrow near-term focus of where to start, a broad long-term vision, and unique insights illuminating the path to getting there.Many startups don’t end up where they started. Thus, many venture capitalists invest in the founder and not necessarily in the specific idea being pitched.Transparency and a shared company-building (as opposed to a fund-raising) mindset ignite an incredible founder-investor relationship.Non-profit: KIPP
