About Charlie
I have 4+ years investing across Venture Capital, Growth Equity and Private Equity. I spent 3 years at Summit Partners, one of the world's largest and longest-standing Growth Equity firms, where I was recruited as a Technology Investor out of the firm's flagship $10B Growth Equity Fund XII. At Summit, I sourced and executed on several deals and was promoted early. I additionally spent a year in Venture Capital at Griffin Gaming Partners, where I evaluated earlier-stage gaming-related opportunities. I graduated from Harvard with an AB in Psychology and Economics. While at Harvard, I designed and taught a semester-long course to the largest undergraduate Venture Capital club (100+ undergraduates).
Why do I coach?
I found my passion for coaching in undergraduate, and find it rewarding to see others grasp concepts and apply them to advance in their pursuits.
