‘The years go fast, the days go slow’ – they say

I’ve always heard this phrase to describe parenting, but it also nails how I feel about the last 7 years at TSV. I suppose my wife and I have had 3 kids in that time too :) … but who’s counting anymore, the hours or the kids.

Today is a big deal for me and my family, to announce that I get to join Blake Patton and Bill Nussey as Partner at Tech Square Ventures, the firm I have been honored to help build since 2017. It’s also given me space to recount the years. In doing so, I am filled with gratitude for this city that has adopted me, and conviction for the opportunity that lies ahead in the Southeast and Atlanta, it’s beating heart. 

Gratitude - 

Moving down here from NYC was a huge leap of faith, knowing no one, very confused by all the Peachtree Streets, and rabid Georgia Bulldog … fans. But the city opened it's arms. Chad (one of many) opened their door to me with no expectation in return. Once I landed in Atlanta and TSV, I was welcomed into the Tech Square community, meeting passionate founders like Seth. Mentors like Charlie poured into me, and the early TSV Engage team was like iron sharpening iron. Exposure to corporate innovators like David and Jim and founders like Allison Robinson completely changed my trajectory.

This firm and this team have been my journey. We’ve pushed through COVID lockdowns, market upheavals and failing banks, to build something from nothing. We remain laser-focused on providing access to capital and customers. Maddie, Taylor, David, Junior, Joelle, Jason, Jordan, and Matthew... I love coming to work each day, and I get better every day, because of you all. I don't take that for granted. 

I am grateful to those who have entrusted me with much (where much is expected). It has been instrumental to my growth. Most of all, Blake who took the chance on me early, seeing my potential as he so masterfully does with founders. The CEOs I’ve had the privilege to back and Investors I’ve had the benefit of working alongside and Bill, a bastion of humility and thoughtfulness. I have much to learn from you and Blake.

Conviction - 
 
Which leaves me looking forward. This adopted hometown is in a critical juncture in my opinion. We’re standing on the shoulders of giants, from tech successes in the 90s, ‘00s, and 10’s, that is culminating in our richest talent pool, most diversified capital base, and nationalized reach (just look at Venture Atlanta). We’ve weathered the market reset well, and I believe we can be aggressive in this next cycle (right Donnie?). Lastly, I realize it’s in my genes to be a community driven guy, and I believe that’s our strength in Atlanta. I’ve seen it first hand with how our F500s have come together in an unprecedented way with Engage. I’m excited to double down on these relationships and dig in for the long haul.

We are excited to announce Jordan Greenberg joining Tech Square Ventures as an Associate and Chief of Staff! His background in applying advanced technologies to venture firms and startups will be immensely helpful as our firm and our portfolio company entrepreneurs continue to scale.

"Graduates, your superpower is your vision - the superpower of successful entrepreneurs is their vision, and that's what we look for in our investments."

If there's any superpower to highlight for the 7 ATDC graduates celebrated Tuesday night, it's the ability for them to transform their ideas into sustainable businesses, local jobs, and a rising entrepreneurial hub centered around Tech Square. Eletype, FilmHedge, Medxoom, Mitivate, OXOS Medical, Stackfolio (acquired by $JKHY), and Transitiv are role models for those who wish to build enduring companies in the Southeast.

Thank you ATDC for a phenomenal event. ATDC has played a large role in TSV's growth. Blake Patton was excited and honored to be part of celebrating these amazing startups!
