Minnie Ingersoll is a General Partner at TenOneTen Ventures and one of the most prominent venture investors in the Los Angeles ecosystem. She brings over 20 years of product and operations experience spanning Google, her own startup, and venture capital. Minnie joined Google as approximately employee #500 in 2002 and spent 12 years there, leaving when the company had grown to 60,000 employees. She progressed from Product Manager (working on Search Quality, AdWords, Google Talk) to co-founding the Access team that became Google Fiber — Google's high-speed fiber-to-the-home broadband service. Her final Google title was Principal, Access Strategy & Civics at Google.org. After Google, Minnie co-founded Shift Technologies (while on maternity leave) — an online marketplace for buying and selling used cars. As COO, she helped scale the company from parking 7 cars outside her apartment to raising $300M+ from Highland Capital, Goldman Sachs, DFJ, and others. Shift went public via a $416M SPAC merger in October 2020 (Nasdaq: SFT). She departed between Series C and D. (Shift later filed for Chapter 11 in October 2023.) She also served as COO of Code for America in 2017, managing finance, marketing, board relations, and recruiting for the civic technology nonprofit. Minnie hosts the popular LA Venture podcast, interviewing top SoCal venture capitalists and founders. She teaches as a Lecturer at Caltech and guest lectures at Stanford. TenOneTen manages ~$200M AUM across its funds, with 87+ investments, 4 unicorns, and 20+ exits.
