I'm an operator-turned-investor and enjoy working with founders and management teams to build interesting, lasting, and industry-changing companies. As an operator, I led the growth of a company from <$1M in annual revenue to ~$80M before it was acquired. I've also founded a few other startups. I have tremendous empathy for what founders endure in building a business.I've been in and around a variety of industries, including natural foods/products, bikes/cycling, apparel & outdoor gear, CPG, RV parks and campgrounds, foodservice, packaging, manufacturing, recycling/composting/waste management, hiring & recruitment, DTC/ecommerce, and others. I'm also the founder of Luke's Circle which helps emerging companies find talented professionals affordably.www.Ridgelinevc.comwww.Lukescircle.com
