Ann Winblad's House

Ann Winblad is an American businesswoman. She is a founding partner of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners.

Bill Gates had an arrangement with his wife Melinda Gates that he and Winblad could keep one vacation tradition alive from their dating years. Every spring, as they had done for over a decade, Gates would spend a long weekend with Winblad at her beach cottage on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where they would ride dune buggies, hang-glide, walk on the beach, and share their thoughts about the world and themselves.
