Grand Slam Partners sources and invests in consumer & tech related private companies both directly as well as through syndicate participation. Following a twenty-four career on Wall Street as an award winning consumer research analyst, it became apparent that innovation and disruption were already having profound impacts on traditional legacy companies. To that end, GSP was formed to invest and partner with some of the emerging companies in the space both from an investment perspective as well as help on the strategy and story-telling side. We are especially proud that nearly 50% of the companies we have backed so far are female/and or minority founded. From pre-seed to Series D, GSP and its team of outside expert advisors look for companies and founders that are building a business based on our four “D” themes that help guide our investment criteria: – Discovery – Demographics – Data – Distribution
