Feeling extremely grateful for the opportunity to attend Kauffman Fellows Summit in Montréal this week. The best part was seeing and connecting with so many KF25-ers, a group of incredibly interesting, smart & entertaining leaders in #venture who I am privileged to call friends.

Though innovation in #industrialtech is rapidly changing, it's long been under the radar for many #venture firms. Now, shifts in early-stage #investing are happening & I'm thrilled to share more about them at BuiltWorlds Venture East event. Come network & exchange ideas with us!

The Midcon VC Summit hosted by Cortado Ventures in Tulsa was more proof of how important the Heartland is to #innovation, #entrepreneurship & #investing. Kudos to our portco Bastazo on their session & a huge thank you to Susan Moring & Nathaniel Harding for their partnership!

At REINDUSTRIALIZE SUMMIT, the message across sectors (#manufacturing, #defense, #logistics, #energy, #infrastructure) was clear: Industrial capacity is not just economic infrastructure, it’s geopolitical leverage. Grateful to be in the room & proud Iron Prairie Ventures is part of the rebuild.
