Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoy Bahat is a venture leader and educator focused on reinventing how work gets done, currently leading Bloomberg Beta where he invests in the future of work and AI-driven companies. With a restless, cross-sector background spanning startups, media, city government, and academia, he blends operator experience (co-founding OUYA, leading IGN) with policy influence (Aspen Business Roundtable, California commission on the future of work). He runs an unusually transparent, founder-first VC operation and teaches at Berkeley Haas to stay close to emerging talent and ideas. Known for candid self-reflection and a taste for experiments—open-sourcing his fund’s playbook and measuring investor success by founder ratings—he pairs intellectual curiosity with pragmatic, hands-on leadership. Unusual detail: he types 88 wpm, plays social deduction games, and admits to a long list of half-started side projects, signaling creative energy beyond conventional résumés.
