Data & Infrastructure
Why we invest
Data and infrastructure that help create, manage, label, and store data are crucial to building applications and making better business decisions. With the rise in Generative AI, applications are being built in new ways that impose new requirements on the underlying infrastructure. Madrona strongly believes that as data proliferates and gets more complex, new requirements will emerge to efficiently store, process, protect, and make decisions with that data. With our extensive experience in this domain, Madrona helps companies find product-market fit, develop go-to-market strategies, and build robust teams to drive sustainable long-term growth.
