My guest this week is Hunter Walk, the co-founder of Homebrew, a unique venture capital firm. Hunter is a tool-builder, having spent his career before venture at companies like Google and YouTube. The topic of our conversation is the intersection of creative expression, technology, human behavior and problem-solving. We discussed his time at the company behind the video game Second Life, building tools for creators at YouTube and why a very hands-on style of early stage venture investing represents an interesting use of his skillset at this stage of his career. Please enjoy my conversation with Hunter Walk.
Second Life Overview
Patrick
Sounds like from reading by your background that you were the co-founder or very early at the company behind the game Second Life. Talk about that company and that game. We're going to talk about YouTube, too. This whole idea of people's digital presence is really interesting to me right now. The rise of Esports and all these things is one component of that that I've been thinking about. Talk about what Second Life is for those that might not know what it is and what role you played there.
