Who's the member of the club, and all the family? Tommy! Who took $500 million out of the Amzn back door since it went public. ?Yup, Tommy. God bless him because he's a Scandinavian.:) >With $250 million under management, Madrona is not the biggest venture fund in Seattle. But it is definitely one of the highest profile, often drawing comparisons to Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers of Silicon Valley. It has created that reputation by working closely with other venture funds and relying on thick Rolodexes to make deals happen. It also frequently draws on the experience of its strategic directors and technology advisers, who include John Creighton, the newly named CEO of United Airlines, Gerald Grinstein, the former chairman of Delta Airlines and Burlington Northern Inc., and University of Washington computer science professors Oren Etzioni and Dan Weld. Alberg, a former managing partner at Perkins Coie, has been investing in start-ups since the mid-1990s under the Madrona name -- backing companies such as Amazon.com.
