“Our investment strategy focuses on enabling founders in their pursuit of building category leading companies” said Jason Babcoke, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Sumeru. “We recognize the unique perspectives and insights founders have regarding product, market and customers and we strive to bring best practices and expertise in sales, marketing, customer success and operations, helping founders realize their ultimate vision.”
To compile the list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms.
