Menlo Ventures Managing Director Shawn Carolan (http://www.menloventures.com/team/shawn-t-carolan) stopped by the studio for our Ask A VC series.
Carolan, who focuses on consumer tech investments for Menlo Ventures, chatted about how he sourced the firm's investment in Siri, which was acquired by Apple (http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/28/apple-buys-virtual-personal-assistant-startup-siri/) and is the underlying technology behind the company's "intelligent personal assistant." Carolan also addressed the firm's recent departure (http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/10/sherpa/) of Shervin Pishevar, and the addition of newest partner, Venky Ganesan. And we revealed that Carolan is spending most of his time these days working on a new stealth startup, called Handle (https://www.handle.com/). Check out the video for more.
