Todd Dagres brings an unusual background to venture capital, having worked as a Hollywood film producer before his VC career, which gives him a different perspective on media and consumer behavior than most tech investors. He's known for personally testing consumer products from his portfolio companies and has been willing to publicly call tech market bubbles when many of his peers avoid such direct language.
