The fund is led by partners Shawn Ellis, who founded NFP Ventures, Adam Blumencranz and Michael Peri, members of the NFP Ventures investment team. Together, they are guided by three core tenets: be early, disciplined and active investors; enhance speed by aligning investments with all limited partners’ core lines of business; and structure investments in a way that creates a win-win for all.
“We believe a good venture partner brings more than capital, especially early in a founder’s journey,” said Ellis, the fund’s managing partner. “Our goal with NFP Ventures was to build a different type of venture fund focused on rapid acceleration for founders and exceptional return generation for limited partners. On both dimensions, our team demonstrated an impressive track record of success in a short period of time, and we’re excited to bring that momentum to Distributed Ventures.”
