[This post is part of an on-going series of video interviews with members of the start-up community – see a list of links to the full series here.]
Jean Hammond is an institution in the Boston start-up community. She’s a Sloan MBA with a ton of entrepreneurial experience in the digital signal processing and networking space who eventually found her passion in early stage investing and coaching. She is a prolific investor with a good eye for ideas (she was one of the first investors in ZipCar) and member of Launchpad Venture Group and Hub Angels. She was also the co-founder of the Boston chapter of Golden Seeds, and angel group focusing on women led businesses. Despite being as busy as a one-armed paper hanger, Jean always has time and advice for an entrepreneur, and no matter how dire the circumstances, can always find something good to say about their plan. She is a tireless champion of startups and a good friend to those of us in the early-stage investing community, so it was high time that we sit down together for my video interview series. This conversation was recorded in May 2012. (Email subscribers, click here for video)
