About Will Close
Strategic and operational leader with experience across venture capital, corporate strategy, and technology. Recently completed my MBA at Darden after leading AI and product strategy initiatives at a Fortune 100 company and supporting early-stage investments at a corporate VC.Earlier in my career, I helped build a deeptech venture fund from the ground up, leading diligence and syndication for over $100M in deals. I continue to work with startups, founders, and passionate people to help them solve their most pressing problems. I’m energized by early-stage teams tackling hard problems with sharp execution. Always open to chat, drop me a line.
