About 25madison
Founded by Michael Lynton (former CEO Sony; Chairman of Snap), Steven Price (Founder and Chairman Townsquare Media), and Matt Fremont-Smith (former COO of Goldman Sachs Bank), 25madison builds companies from the ground up and invests in Pre-Seed to Series A companies.
Leveraging brand experience and collaboration, our accomplished team partners with entrepreneurs and turns their high-conviction ideas into big business. Our venture studio model excels because of our resources, network, capital, and a proven process that supports entrepreneurs – allowing them to focus on what they do best – building companies.
25madison’s team comes from a diverse set of careers, working at companies like Snap, Lyft, LinkedIn, Google, and Daily Harvest, but we share a common background as builders and operators. We’re eager to add more valuable perspectives to focus on important functional areas.
