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.

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
