New role, same passion - startups and the ecosystem that fuels them. My years as a startup builder/operator taught me the importance of having the right investor at the right stage. My first year in early-stage venture capital has reinforced that founders need VERY different support and resources at different stages of their journey. I’m thrilled to take these learnings to a new part of the ecosystem, continuing my VC journey focused on growth-stage companies in my new role as an investor with Fulcrum Equity Partners. Fulcrum has been around for 20 years and is one of the largest growth equity firms in the Southeast, with close to $1B in assets under management. With a track record of incredible returns for LPs, a leadership team of former operators, and a continued commitment to the tech community in Atlanta, the firm is uniquely positioned to support founders ready to take their business to the next level. I’m excited to leverage my experience scaling B2B and B2BC SaaS companies to invest in the best founders and work with our existing portfolio companies revolutionizing their industries. It's already been an eventful first couple of days; - We completed due diligence on a company and wired $10M - (Who says all VCs are in Europe for the summer? :)) - Participated in a two-hour session with the leadership team of a cybersecurity company closing in on a term sheet. They are one of the most transformative I have seen, with a value prop a 12-year-old can understand. - Met an impressive founder in the Future of Work space who is raising a round, has several million in ARR, and is growing 60%+ YoY. She has real momentum addressing the "point solution" fatigue that HR leaders feel. Thanks to Philip Lewis, Frank X. Dalton, Jeff Muir, Jim Douglass, Thomas Greer, and the entire Fulcrum team for the warm welcome. Let’s get it! https://lnkd.in/e6gcRZm8
