The Pacific Northwest’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is rich with inspiring and innovative individuals with remarkable stories.  To help unearth and share these stories, we asked Jenni Hogan, social media all-star and Co-Founder of Tagboard, to interview some of the top leaders in the community for a new podcast series called Entrepreneurship Rising.  In the first episode, Jenni interviews Julie Sandler, Principal and VC rock star at Madrona Venture Group.

During the interview, Julie shares the story of her journey and how she got to where she is, along with valuable insights on how to make the most of a 30-minute meeting with a venture capitalist and how to differentiate yourself among a sea of entrepreneurs.

The Jenni Hogan Podcast: Entrepreneurship Rising series is brought to you by the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® program in the Pacific Northwest.  The program celebrates those who are building and leading successful, growing and dynamic businesses, recognizing them through regional, national and global awards programs in more than 145 cities in more than 60 countries.
