This Week in VC with @VCMike Hirshland of Polaris Ventures

This probably wasn’t a fun period of time for a new VC but nonetheless probably made Mike stronger than having started in 1997. Since then Mike his built his career by investing in early-stage companies (seed or series A), which is remarkable given that Polaris Ventures is a $1 billion fund. This lasted from about 2001-2004.
