We Exist to Serve Entrepreneurs

We’ve spent our careers working with entrepreneurs and the broader community with a goal of doing our part to grow great stories. We’re taking our experience from helping to build venture debt platforms at Square 1 Bank and Signature Bank and combining it with the know-how of the best entrepreneurs we’ve ever met.
The result is a unique take on a familiar story. With Conductor Capital, we aim to be the most founder-centric provider of non-dilutive growth capital in the world.
Co-Founders
Founder & former CEO, Pardot
Co-Founder & former CEO, Flatiron Health and Invite Media
Our co-founders and anchor investors are world class entrepreneurs who have built businesses to scale, from ideation to Billion-dollar exits. Their embedded experience has a unique breadth and range. They’ve built companies by bootstrapping and by raising multiple rounds of financing. Their go-to-market motions have included everything from product-led growth to enterprise sales. They’ve built enduring cultures that have helped them become category leaders in the marketplace.
In short, they’ve seen and lived the ups and downs of entrepreneur life and are joining together to help us build Conductor.
Founders Circle
Entrepreneurs are the heroes of startup success and we want to surround ourselves with those who have been on this journey before. Our Founders Circle members are all investors in Conductor who want to leverage their experiences to help our portfolio companies grow.
When you partner with Conductor, you join a family of builders who understand what it takes daily to get from idea to exit.
