You are listening to the 20 minute VC with your host Harry Stebbings at H. Debings on Snapchat.

Now, you might remember a long time ago, we had Jonathan Triest at Ludlow Ventures on the show.

And joining me today, I'm thrilled to welcome Jonathan's partner at Ludlow, Brett DeMaris.

Now, Ludlow themselves have investments in the lights of product hunt, Sprig, Angel List and Youbeam,

just to name a few of their fantastic portfolio.

And prior to joining Ludlow, Brett founded Weddit, a crowdsource wedding video platform that reduced

the cost of wedding videos and made them social. Within the first year of launching, the company

had won the top industry awards for customer satisfaction by bride's choice and best of the not. However, before we

meet the man himself, we always talk about VCs, about what they do and how they operate, but what

about the people behind them? What about how they actually run the operational side? Well, that's

where Cooley come in. Cooley are the global law firm built around startups and venture capital. Since

forming the first venture fund in Silicon Valley, Cooleys form more venture capital funds than any

other law firm in the world, with more than 50 years working with VCs. They help VCs form and

manage funds, make investments, and handle the myriad of issues that arise through a fund's lifetime.

So to learn more about the number one most active law firm representing VC-packed companies

going public, head over to coolly.com and also check them out on coolly go.com.

Also, I have to say, the life of a podcaster can be a tiring one, but with an Eve mattress,

I'm always fresh.

Eve is the UK's number one direct-to one direct consumer mattress company, because they don't sell

through high street stores. Eve cuts out 70% of traditional costs and pass those on to you,

the consumer. Developed over four years with thousands of prototypes, Eve is so confident

of their product, they give customers 100 nights to try it at home before committing.
