Brief

Leigh Marie Braswell celebrates venture’s long-term founder relationships, noting she’s known Markie Wagner for over five years, learned “RPA” from her, and wrote a September 2021 ML infra post that predated Poetic. After Kleiner Perkins led Poetic’s Series A, Braswell joined the board; both authors highlight early, sustained support and excitement about the team’s future.

My favorite thing about working in venture is the long-term nature of the relationships you have with founders who are making history. I’ve known @markiewagner for > 5 years, and among teaching me many other things, she taught me what “RPA” stood for. This led to a Sep 2021 ML infra blog post I wrote when I first started in VC, and years later led to @kleinerperkins leading the Series A of Poetic and me joining the board. Extremely fortunate to partner with the seemingly future-seeing Markie & the S-tier @PoeticHQ team! Couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come.

Leigh Marie has been fighting by our side years before the company was even started.

5 years ago, we started talking about the idea that would eventually become Poetic. LMB's original blog post here on it as a relic of the past:

Over and over, she has done impossible things to set us up to win.
