2.0 Ventures is forging a new paradigm of VC. High-growth companies experience finite windows for potential acquisition.

We are geographically agnostic.We focus on what matters most and we collaborate to win.I am an entrepreneur, investor, former Bain consultant, advisor, board member, culture builder, active mentor and leader.
