“Every day
matters.”

Ethan Linkner

Managing Partner

Hi, I'm Ethan.

Truth be told, I didn’t know what Venture Capital was until I started my own business.

I guess learning at 26 makes me a bit late to the party. But after launching, scaling, acquiring a business, and ultimately exiting to an international buyer, I now finally understand and appreciate how the right partner can be the catalyst for creating economic outcomes and a true legacy.

I grew up a product of public schools just north of the Metro Detroit. My favorite days growing up were spent on any sports field. It was there I learned that winners are built around incredibly talented and diverse teams rather than individuals.

As a builder of companies and teams, my mission here is to create at least 1 billion dollars of economic returns while also creating at least 1 billion dollars worth of mudita in the world.

I am excited to collaborate, innovate, and craft the businesses that define our generation together.

"....but only
ARR counts."

I look for zero-excuse founders who are attacking the world’s most critical problems for how work gets done.

I specialize in growing companies from the toddler stage through Series A. As a founder myself, I love getting my hands dirty, collaborating, and building alongside founders. If you have the drive and are coachable enough to learn how to get to the next level, let’s chat.
