Building the Future, Systematically
When I founded Scalable Ventures in 2010, I wasn't just starting another investment firm. I was systematizing three decades of company building into a repeatable process for creating successful ventures.
"After Backupify's exit, everyone asked my secret. There wasn't one secret—there were dozens of patterns I'd learned from building GlowTouch, working at GE, and helping 100+ companies. Scalable Ventures codifies these patterns into a venture-building system."
My unique journey—from coding at GE to scaling a global services company to achieving successful exits—provided rare insight into what makes companies scalable. My technical foundation from Virginia Tech enabled me to see company building as an engineering challenge with optimizable solutions.
Today, Scalable Ventures operates as both investor and builder, applying proven playbooks to new opportunities. It's not just capital—it's compressed experience, systematic execution, and pattern recognition applied to venture creation.
"Most startups fail for predictable reasons," I often explain. "Scalable Ventures exists to eliminate those predictable failures, applying hard-won lessons to new ventures so they start with unfair advantages."
