I love building early stage companies. Whether it was during my 11 years as a venture capitalist at an early stage venture fund, as founder and president of a venture-backed startup, or managing director of a BDC structuring venture debt to later stage companies, I've always been passionate about building great companies. Now, I'm in the incredible position to lead a team of investment professionals that drive innovation and entrepreneurship in the the Philadelphia region. Each year our group invests in more than 50 early stage companies and provides seed capital to another 50 companies. Our internal investment expertise includes technology, life sciences, healthcare, and physical sciences. I can honestly say that I don't think there is an organization anywhere that does more for innovations and entrepreneurship in their region.
