General Partner, Companyon Ventures | Early Series A Software and AI Investor

Are you a founder of a B2B SaaS startup raising a post-Seed or Series A financing? I'd love to hear from you, but I don't regularly check InMail. Please visit our investment criteria at Companyon Ventures and reach out to us at pitches@companyon.vc — we have processes in place to ensure your message gets the attention it deserves. I'm Co-Founder and General Partner at Companyon Ventures, an early-stage VC firm specializing in B2B software and AI startups. We partner with founders at the late-Seed to early-Series A stage (typically $1-3M ARR) as they shift from founder-led operations to scalable growth. Our hands-on approach helps companies build the operational foundation to reach the next stage of growth. I have been in the world of software startups for over 25 years and have seen it all. It all started when I banded with a couple of other co-founders and went through a series of three startups. Two of them failed and the third made it. Through that journey, we made almost all the mistakes founders can make and learned a ton. Afterward, I transitioned to venture capital, joining Insight Partners and then becoming a founding partner at OpenView Venture Partners, where I built a hands-on investment model that accelerated growth for B2B SaaS companies. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep sense of pattern recognition in how successful software companies grow. While each founder’s journey is unique, some principles remain constant: Build a product that solves a real problem. Delight your customers. Scale with capital efficiency. Hire exceptional people — and treat them well. I’m also passionate about empowering founders through my Boardroom Confidential LinkedIn series, offering practical advice on navigating board dynamics and building strong governance. If you’re building something exceptional, I’d love to hear your story.
