Former Oracle exec Kyle York has a plan to revamp the VC industry

This story requires our BI Prime membership. To read the full article,Kyle York was sitting pretty after Oracle bought his employer, Dyn, for a reported $600 million-plus in 2016.

York had resigned a few months before Oracle closed Dyn, after shepherding his teams through a layoff and restructuring in March. He had enjoyed working at Oracle until the stress of these changes took their toll, he told Business Insider. But it felt time to move on. He wondered what to do next in his life.

As a marketing and operations guy, he had that expertise. And he offered it to founders at the earliest stages, rather than after they have a product built and then had to figure out who would buy it and how to sell it.

Thanks for the great article about our new hybrid firm! 💯💯💯 cc yorkgrowth
