Madison McIlwain

I’m Madison, currently a VC and Startup Ecosystem Lead at Vercel.

At the same time, I co-founded The Room Podcast to open doors in tech and venture - especially for underrepresented voices. With 100+ episodes and key partners such as Mercury and Perkins Coie, we’ve brought founders like Michelle Zatlyn (Cloudflare) and Johnny Ho (Perplexity) into listeners’ lives, one real conversation at a time. We were honored to be named Forbes 30 Under 30 in Media.

Previously Partner of Seed Investments at defy vc.
