All founders that come in to pitch to CCV need to have a GP or LP champion them. The champion likely has a pre-existing relationship with the company and will serve as the founder’s primary point of contact throughout the pitch and due diligence process. The champion will guide the founder and liaison with the GPs/LPs for all questions, feedback, etc. Our hope is to streamline communication and make it as smooth as a process for the founders.
Feel free to contact CCV’s Co-President and GP, Steven Larsen at stevenlar@gmail.com or 805-746-1775. Also, feel free to reach out to any of the GPs – they would love to talk with you! Their contact information is in the Investment Deck.
