Angus Davis skipped college to join Netscape at 18 as its youngest employee, working directly with Marc Andreessen and Jim Barksdale on both the browser and the U.S. v. Microsoft antitrust case, then twice built and scaled category-defining companies—Tellme Networks (acquired by Microsoft for ~$900M) and Upserve (sold for ~$500M)—before becoming a VC at Foundation Capital. He built Upserve deliberately outside Silicon Valley in Providence, Rhode Island, turning it into the state's largest tech exit, and brings deep experience in SMB and restaurant operations along with a "build what you've already sold, don't sell what you've already built" philosophy rooted in close customer collaboration and pre-selling.
