?In The Studio,? Bullpen Capital Anticipated Todays Series A Crunch Years Ago

"In the Studio" welcomes it's first two-guest show ever by hosting two long-time Valley veterans, former founders, investors, seed fund LPs, and executives who, most recently, had the presence of mind to anticipate an investment trend and build an entire investment business around it, ahead of the curve. For Paul Martino and Rich Melmon, both managing directors at Bullpen Capital (along with co-founder Duncan Davidson), all the recent chatter about "The Series A Crunch" validates their initial thesis from three years ago. Back in 2009, the folks at Bullpen saw the delta between the number of seed deals and Series A checks growing, largely because more companies were getting funded. With the hint of an idea for a new fund, Martin, Melmon, and Davidson quickly formed Bullpen and, unlike many talking heads opining on the Series A crunch now, went and put their money and reputations where their mouths were.
