In the heart of Denmark’s capital, next to the train tracks at Copenhagen Station, stands a red brick building with an ornate façade and a copper-clad cupola that turns green over time.

A former Amazon and Vimeo executive, she took…

For venture capitalists with two decades of big winners from consumer brands like Fitbit, Ring, and Peloton to enterprise software makers HashiCorp and Duo Security, it’s more than armchair theory. This is a theory that True Ventures is actively betting on. True didn’t get this far by following the crowd. The Bay Area firm has operated largely under the radar, even as it manages about $6 billion…
