Cleveland, Ohio, United States
The best ventures don't follow the map — they redraw it. Like the stories worth remembering — whether from a galaxy far, far away or a well-tailored British agent — the ideas worth backing are the ones that dare to imagine a different world. That's the lens I bring to every partnership. After 25+ years at the intersection of innovation, strategy, and commercialization, I've learned that transformative breakthroughs rarely come from expected places. They come from founders who see what others can't — and teams bold enough to build it anyway. As Co-founder of Nottingham Unlimited Ventures, I lead a platform built for what's next — partnering with and investing in bold founders, emerging ventures, and high-conviction funds across tech, mobility, and healthcare. Through InnovateNOW Venture Studio, we go further than capital: we co-build alongside the teams we back, bringing strategy, commercialization expertise, and deep operating experience to every stage of the journey. At Nottingham Spirk — where I serve as VP of Growth and Managing Partner — we've spent over 53 years doing something rare: combining 1600 patented technologies, a 95% commercialization rate, and deep operating experience to help global brands and breakthrough startups turn bold vision into market-ready companies. We don't just advise — we build alongside you. What I'm looking for are the ventures quietly reimagining the rules — and the exceptional teams ready to make them real. Let's connect if: • You're a founder or fund manager seeking a strategic capital and commercialization partner • You're a corporate innovator ready to move faster with the right partner
