The Accidental Technologist: Caterina Fake

The Accidental Technologist: Caterina Fake

By Gimlet

Caterina Fake was on her way to life in academia as a Renaissance literature scholar when the tech world came knocking. She co-founded Flickr, the hugely popular photo-sharing site, and started a handful of other tech companies. These days she runs her own VC investment firm and is regarded as one of Silicon Valley's top visionaries. But spend five minutes with her and you'll realize she has not left behind her academic roots; instead, she brings that mindset to everything from predicting the next big tech movement to making the case that every business should be a family business. Caterina Fake is the co-founder of Flickr and Hunch.com. She is a partner at Yes VC.
