    We founded Flag Capital because we believe the current early-stage funding model is broken. Instead of leading rounds in isolation, we co-invest alongside an unparalleled network of repeat founders, exited entrepreneurs, and insider operators, those who’ve built and scaled before and know what it takes. Our approach is grounded in high conviction, deep alignment, and radical transparency. We back founders we believe in, from day zero, with the support and strategic firepower of the very people who’ve done it before. As Managing Partner, I bring my experience as a C level and a venture scout to help early teams navigate the hardest and most critical stages of company-building, with speed, honesty, and real skin in the game
