Jason Mendelson

Who are you, and what do you do?

I’m a venture capitalist at Foundry Group in Boulder, Colorado. I invest in technology companies all over the U.S. In my spare time I like to travel, run and perform music.

What forms of media have influenced you the most?

I grew up on vinyl records and cassettes. I still find them to be the most interesting and they settle my brain after a crazy day at work. Some of my favorite artists are The Police, Steely Dan and Stevie Wonder. Most of the books I read are brain candy thrillers. My favorite movie is the Usual Suspects.

What hardware / software do you use?

I’m an Apple guy and I hate on computer software. I love Google Cloud. I’m a fanatic about Fitbit!

What would be your dream creative setup?

Either the reading room at the University of Michigan Law School or my music studio. Both inspire me to thinking openly and are very quiet places.
