Menlo Ventures managing partner Venky Ganesan and his puppy Ziva. When pet care company Rover went public on the NASDAQ this morning, completing its SPAC merger with True Wind-sponsored Nebula Caravel Acquisition Corp., it marked the third exit of 2021 for Menlo Ventures managing partner Venky Ganesan. “I went completely numb on my left side and I blacked out,” Ganesan tells Forbes. I had a massive stroke on the right side of my brain.” Ganesan suffered from an Ischemic stroke, which is more common in younger people. After the stroke, Ganesan decided that when, and if, he recovered he was going to focus only on his family, including his wife and three daughters, and his job.
