Founder and Managing Partner, Collab Fund

About

Craig Shapiro brings an unusual background rooted in graffiti culture and scrappy entrepreneurship to venture investing, which shapes his non-consensus approach to finding companies at the intersection of profit and social good. He created the Villain Test as a consumer investing framework—asking whether products appeal to people's self-interest even when nobody's watching—and co-founded Shared Future Fund to write rapid $100k checks into 100+ climate startups per year with 10-day decisions.
