About Nathan
I started my career in investment banking, having worked within Goldman Sachs' FIG group, covering financial technology and asset management clients. I then transitioned to the buyside as an associate at G2 Venture Partners, a spinout fund of Kleiner Perkins. Our investment areas included sustainability and industry 4.0, and I performed a full range of sourcing, execution, and fund management activities. Last year I decided to gain operating experience in a fast growing startup and am currently leading strategy and operations at Via (viacustomers.com). Over time, I hope to become a great company builder and continue to grow companies either as an operator or as a VC. I am well positioned to help students who are wanting to go into investment banking or strait into the buyside. I can also help individuals coming out of banking target the right type of buyside firms (whether buyout, growth equity, early stage VC, etc.) to match their long-term career goals.
