Seedcamp Podcast, Episode 26: Will Bunker of Silicon Valley Growth Syndicate

In the ‘Seedcamp Podcast Series’ we talk with key people in the tech startup industry to hear their stories and gleam key advice and learnings from their experiences.

We had the chance to sit down with Will Bunker during this year’s Collision Conference in Las Vegas. Apologies for the noisy background, but conference areas are not particularly great!

An accomplished entrepreneur and investor, Will Bunker co-founded One-and-Only.com in late 1995. He and his partners grew the company into the largest online dating site and eventually sold the firm to TicketMaster-City Search for $45 million in June of 1999. Soon after, the company was rebranded as Match.com.

Mr. Bunker has a passion for working with early stage entrepreneurs, helping their firms grow and working towards an exit with the highest possible valuation. A long time resident of the Silicon Valley, where he lives with his wife and two teenage children, Will serves on the screening committee of the Band of Angels, the oldest funding organisation in the Valley. He also serves as a member of the Silicon Valley Founders Institute.

The Founders Institute is a global launch network that helps entrepreneurs create meaningful and enduring technology companies.
