Tomorrow: Discover How Coda & Madrona Are Taking on Google
 Coda's Shishir Mehrotra and Madrona's S. Somasegar to talk taking on Google on Extra Crunch Live Collaborative software is so hot right now, but the space is also incredibly crowded. It can be hard to rise above the noise, but Coda has managed to do so with $140 million in funding and a valuation topping $600 million.
We're excited to hear from Coda CEO Shishir Mehrotra and Madrona investor S. Somasegar, who invested in the company's Series C round, on an upcoming episode of Extra Crunch Live on June 2 12pm PDT (3pm EDT). 
Somasegar is a managing director at Madrona, responsible for investments in Snowflake, UIPath, Coda, Pulumi, Seekout and more. He invests in a broad array of categories, including machine learning, next-gen cloud infrastructure, future of work, robotic process automation and more.
Mehrotra, for his part, has built a pretty massive business that has not only scaled well, but competes directly with giants like Google. Coda is a collaborative doc/spreadsheet software that looks to take on the G Suite. Before Coda, Mehrotra was an executive at YouTube and, prior to that, held leadership roles at Microsoft working on Windows, Office and SQL Server
We'll talk to these two about fundraising for a product like Coda, what attracted Somasegar to the platform and how they work alongside one another today. We'll also have an Extra Crunch Live Pitch-Off, where folks in the audience can come on "stage" and pitch their wares. Mehrotra and Somasegar will give their live feedback and, let's face it, make all of us better at pitching in general.
Extra Crunch Live is free to everyone and focuses on the relationships between founders and investors that have led to successful business building. We talk about what made them choose each other, hear about the initial pitch meetings and learn about how they make decisions about the future together.
