Emerald Development Managers

Deals are sourced from decades-long relationships with academic research institutions, operating managers, incubators, and like-minded VCs. Emerald's expertise was developed over 25 years of funding venture capital and commercializing university research while simultaneously gaining invaluable experience founding, building, and operating an industrial unicorn that has returned over $1 billion to investors and still has a current market value over $1 billion. In addition to capital, we bring experience, discipline, critical thinking, financing expertise, and significant hands-on involvement to the companies we support. Emerald’s three main investment focus areas are: i) Cybersecurity / Enterprise SaaS, ii) Biotech / Med Tech / Healthcare IT, and iii) Clean Tech / Materials Science / Industrial Tech.
