Carey was super excited to have Kelly Perdew on the podcast.

He has been an entrepreneur, an executive, an Apprentice, and for the last several years, a venture capitalist.   

He’s currently Managing Partner of Moonshots Capital, an early stage venture firm.  He’s been a fixture in the So Cal startup and venture community for a long time.

Kelly is a graduate of West Point and a JD/MBA from UCLA.  He and Carey met years ago through the UCLA network, where he remains an active participant.  He and his partner, Craig, started Moonshots about 4 years ago – and documented the realities of starting a venture firm and fund, which was greatly appreciated by others who were trying.

They covered a lot of ground in their conversation about investing, the amazing leadership training program that is the military, and how his experiences have shaped him as an entrepreneur and VC.
