Founder

Tarsier Capital Management

I bet on people and value character over all else. I use my two conferences Ascent and Investor Summit to find great companies to invest in.

Seeking 2 micro cap or nano cap public companies to invest in per year. 

Seeking 2 seed stage SaaS or B2B companies to invest in per year.

University of Michigan - Stephen M. Ross School of Business

Master of Business Administration, May 2012 with an emphasis in Strategy. 

Co-Founder Poker Club

B2B events are changing.  The most value comes from smaller, highly targeted groups having deeper conversations. We focus on making networking EASY.

EASY Way = Fun + Authentic + Engaging + Meaningful Convos + Budget Friendly

The Old Way = Boring + Fake + Painful + transactional booths + awkward to break the ice + asynchronous content 


The Future of B2B Conferences = Justify the spend based on longer bottom of the funnel conversations with the decision maker 


Our audience:

• VPs and C-Level 
• Mid-Market - $5M to $1BN ARR
• B2B Software/Tech

My DMs are open if you'd like to see how Ascent can connect you with your buyers
