Experience
Senior Advisor
Sep 2022 — Present · Charlotte, NC, US
TBD Labs is a Venture Studio focused on building industry sponsored Fintech and Enterprise Tech solutions. The Venture Studio model combines a traditional VC fund with an operating entity, the Studio, to systematically build companies from scratch rather than invest in existing companies. Our Industry Sponsor model involves collaborating with experienced individuals deeply entrenched in their industries. The Sponsors help ensure that we are building solutions to real problems in their space and that we have the social capital required to get our product in front of the right people. We deploy financial engineering to make sponsorship economically enticing while ensuring sponsors are appropriately incentivized to contribute their expertise and social capital.
