Madeline Minshew

As True’s Head of Platform, Madeline leads the firm’s founder success efforts. She builds the programs, relationships, and infrastructure that give True founders an unfair advantage as they forge enduring, category-defining companies—connecting them with the insights, people, and resources that move the needle fast.

Prior to joining True, Madeline was VP of People and Talent at Handshake, a True Portfolio company that’s since grown into the leading career development network for college students and recent graduates. Before Handshake, she scaled teams and operations at Cadre, Tumblr, and Google.

A San Francisco native who has lived in Paris and NYC, Madeline graduated from Barnard College of Columbia University. She lives in San Francisco with her husband, two children, and dog.
