About John Buttrick

Andy Weissman is a venture capital investor at Union Square Ventures who brings deep expertise at the intersection of technology and culture, particularly music, and was an early thought leader on how blockchain could transform media rights and artist compensation. He operates with a distinctive "maximizing serendipity" philosophy that prizes unexpected connections and curiosity, and champions USV's unusual non-voting investment approach that relies on structured conversation rather than traditional governance.
