Masha Bucher: From Kremlin to Venture Capital

This week on Sand Hill Road, a remarkable conversation at the kitchen table of Masha Bucher—once a teen star of a Kremlin-backed youth movement, now a young voice in Silicon Valley venture capital. Scott McGrew talks with the founder of Day One Ventures about her transformation from PR powerhouse to unicorn-spotting investor, the emotional toll of exile from her homeland, and what it means to align your life's work with your deepest values.
