Check out our Managing Partner, Dana Guthrie's, interview with Tom Jenz at Shepherd Express, where she discusses what brought and kept her in Milwaukee and how education and transparency are key to building strong investor/founder relationships. "We understand that there is a natural misalignment between investor and the startup company, the founder. The investor has the upper hand because the founder needs the funds. As investors at Gateway Capital, we are transparent. We try to explain to the founder our return objectives and typical expectations of the industry. Venture?capital has historically been very?“black box.”?I aim to do things differently." - Dana Guthrie
